    Best equipment for printing on polyester sports bibs

    Hi all, I would like to print club crests/numbers on to the front and back of 100% polyester reversible sports bibs. What would be the most appropriate equipment to use?

    Are the bibs plain white or coloured? Plain you can sublimate straight onto them, coloured you'd need either vinyl or a transfer depending on the level of detail required.

    The bibs will be coloured (lime green, dark green, royal blue, red etc) and looking to add black numbers on front/back. Not too much level of detail at all. Could you give me an exampl eof the type of machine I would need?

    Sublimation will work on Lime or other bright colours. Dark colours will need to use cut vinyl. So you will need a heatpress and either a vinyl cutter or sublimation printer.

    A lot of people on this forum would recommend Pressmech heatpresses. Others would recommend Adkins or Stahls.
    Vinyl cutters depend on what you need. Graphtec, Roland and Summa make top quality cutters at around £1500 - £4000 depending on the size you need. For simple text and nubers you could get away with a cheap Cameo Pro for £500.
