knucklehead 530 Posted June 5, 2015 Guy asked me a little while ago about making some 'Performance' shirts. What can ya do with these shirts, HTV, dye-sub, screen print? Never dealt with any before. Says he doesn't think they are Under Armour, he thinks, they are a poly blend? Are most performance shirts 100% poly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macon Innovations 228 Posted June 5, 2015 Most performance shirts are 100% poly or 95% poly 5% lycra/Spandex.....what color does he want ? That will narrow your options a little also.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted June 5, 2015 Colors? No idea? I think he's wanting to bring me the shirts, which I do not do, customer supplied shirts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted June 6, 2015 I do quite a few performance shirts with HTV. I typically use stretch variant of easy weed. If they happen to be nylon you will have to find something compatible with nylon like Stahls Superfilm. If the colors allow and the polyester content is near 100% they sublimate fine too.

knucklehead 530 Posted June 6, 2015 Thank Ya. Only thing I know about 'em, is I can't afford 'em. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TauntDevil 19 Posted June 6, 2015 Not to thread jack or anything but to relate to "performance" shirts. What material is used for the shirts that you cant really feel the graphic on? Or are the shirts made from the beginning with the designs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macon Innovations 228 Posted June 6, 2015 100% polyester Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted June 6, 2015 The prints are normally sublimation either preproduction like shirts printed all over or post production like the prints you see posted on the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go-C Graphics 856 Posted June 6, 2015 BE WARNED!!! I've done some of these shirts before and the cheap ones will bleed their color when you heat press them. I did some for my fiancee's dad's business and they now have a lighter color square the size of my heat press on them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinylRevamp 93 Posted September 8, 2015 I know this is a few months old but which ones would you say are "cheap"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted September 8, 2015 I would stick with Vapor myself and just pass the higher price on or its not worth it after you eat a few cheap shirts. Just my $.02 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macon Innovations 228 Posted September 8, 2015 I am in love with Vapor now..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinylRevamp 93 Posted September 9, 2015 Would you consider A4 and Augusta cheap? I have to look into Vapor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
