Day 5 - Screen printed?

My final day with Sunny has come (and it is again raining).

I have decided that I will approach Sunny again later in the year when it is a bit warmer to get an accurate answer to whether or not she is "cool-dri".

Interesting Fact: Little to no ironing required. I didn't hang this polo on a coat hanger at all this week; I treated it with as little care as possible and still, even after being scrunched in my bag for an hour, it remains creaseless. The polyester just snaps back to place when you wear it :) What a bonus!

The vital question (particularly for those who are interested in our 20 4 20 promotion) is how well does it screen print?

According to Mark, our head screen printer, "Very well". The ink, water-based or plastisol, adheres beautifully to the 100% polyester and offers a crisp finish. Occasionally, finer prints can appear a little fuzzy as a result of the mesh effect alot of the cool dry materials have. If you are unsure, just ask us. We print hi vis garments every week and know which ones print better than others. Johhny Bobbin's 6HVPS generally allows for a smooth, consistent and professional screen print.

And so it is; Sunny the Lime/Royal Hi Vis and I are finished for a while. It will be sad to leave her behind, but I look forward to my next test drive...

Want to know about how a garment wears? Ask me; I'll wear it for you :)
