Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Screen Printing on Jerseys

I know I should get jerseys sublimated, but time and money are short right now. I had planned on using these jerseys from Performance that are made specifically for screen printing: https://www.performancebike.com/shop/...tegory_ID=1110

Problem is, they don't have all the sizes in stock that I need. Are there any other jerseys out there made specifically for screen printing?

Have any of you screen printed on a regular jersey? How bad does it turn out? Are there any jerseys that aren't specifically made for this but would be better than others?

You might find something at velowear.com. I run a screen printing business, you're right. you'd be better off getting them sublimated. If you do get them screened, you want to make sure of a couple of things:

1. Make sure your printer has experience printing jerseys, athleticwear, running gear etc.
2. Make sure they use something like a "spandisol" ink, this ink is stretchier than the normal ink used on t-shirts and other items. This will keep the ink from cracking and splitting. Also make sure they use a ink that's formulated for 100% polyester, or whatever the jerseys you choose are made of.
3. Make sure they don't melt or burn your jerseys. The dryers used to cure screen printing inks run between 350-400 F, we've turned certain styles of running jerseys into little wadded up balls of plastic

If your printer is familiar with and specializes in jerseys and sporting uniforms, you should be fine.
