[jazzygirl]

yes, those Nike kind of shirts.
customer went with an embroidered design, but still want to know if this is do-able.
i have a couple dri-fit shirts, but didnt want to use mine to test on. i guess i could use one.

yes they can be heat pressed, if they are white you can dye-sub them & you can get apparel vinyl that would also work i am sure, i dont know which kinds off the top of my head.

There is a heat transfer vinyl for Nylon http://www.specialty-graphics.com/easyweed_extra_vinyl.html
Their sister vinyl is good for all other garments. Roger also sells a great series of vinyl. WWW.heatpressvinyl.com

Nike and others have some garments that use nylon as a component of the garment. Nylon will melt at the temperatures used in heat transfer.

If you want a good product, easily available that has the dri technology look at the Vapor line. http://www.dyetrans.com/sublimation-blank-vapor-apparel.php

It is 100% poly material that feels like spun cotton in most cases.
