Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 27, 2014 Have a friend asking about a logo on black draw string bags and think in low volume the DTG with white back would be the way to go - Madhatter hasn't been around lately so who is doing DTG with white on here anymore?? I am pretty sure it would be 5 color so screening would need quite a few to be cost effective from what I have researched Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mopar691 281 Posted January 27, 2014 The problem is not many bags are cotton. Most are poly or nylon, fine for screen printing but bad for DTG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenwind / One Off Grafx 187 Posted January 27, 2014 have you tried the JOTO paper? seams to come out nice on shirts. I run mine in my cannon printer then press. Have not tried them on bags though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenmachine 52 Posted January 27, 2014 You could print with your roland on heat press vinyl made for nylon and press it yourself. I have gotten samples from Stahls that felt pretty good. They call it cad-cut. greenie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just saw on FB they had to amputate part of his mom's foot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 27, 2014 yeh I could on the roland - but then the entire back is white and this has a faded shadow that would work much better other ways - just trying to give her options that would be best - not just what I can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeygirl 30 Posted January 28, 2014 If it's a poly bag, you can find someone who can print white and use RTape ClearFlex. http://www.rtape.com/flex-and-flock-films/clearflex Oops, nevermind, it said print in reverse... so that won't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 28, 2014 the shading of the gray drop shadow in the design is going to be an issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted February 20, 2014 I know I'm late on this but there are inks for printing DTG to Nylon etc. However I do believe you cant use it in the same machine your using the cotton ink in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
