Unless there has been some big changes, DTG won't print on 100% poly or poly blends.

You may have to go with dye sub.

What happened in the past has everything to do with what we are today.

There are pretreatments for poly for DTG, you'll just have to find a shop with a dark garment printer.

So, they deal with the mesh mess like we do by either wiping or using a paper cover?
