Printing on fireproof garments?
Discussion
Evening all, is anyone on here in the business or either heat-printing or screen-printing clothing?
Basically, I have a set of Pyrovatex flame retardant overalls, which I would like to get printed on the back with the logo of the group I work with in them. A friend of mine who heat-prints t-shirts has declined to do it for me, as she is worried that the fireproof coating will react or melt in the heat and damage either the overalls or the press, or that the graphics simply won't stick. Is this the case? Has anyone got experience with these sorts of materials? The alternative would be to find someone who can screen print, which would probably actually be more durable as the ink is then ingrained in the fabric rather than stuck to the top where it can crack and flake with wear - however, my concern still remains that the coating will cause the ink to not adhere properly?
Can anyone advise me please? I have tried a few printing places but none of them have done flameproof stuff before so cannot offer reliable advice.
Thanks,
matt
