I have some black neoprene decks I want to mark up for my club.

Does anybody have any recommendations on what to use? I do not really
want
to damage the decks with some solvent based paint.


Off to your local computer shop and purchase a pack of Transfer Paper -
print
up your logo / pic / name or whatever and iron on to your deck. Don't
forget
to reverse everything before printing...

Not a bad idea. Any experience of how long a transfer would last?
I am not sure about the idea of ironing the deck. Worth a try I guess.

Thanks

Don't do it!

The transfers only really work on light coloured backgrounds and the iron
has to be on the hottest setting - way above the melting point of the
rubber in neoprene.

Go to your local DIY store and get a tube of white silicon sealant. With
the smallest nozzle size you should be able write on the neoprene. Should
be quite durable when dry - especially if you apply to an area which isn't
over-stretched.

Best wishes

If they are shock cord decks you can stitch onto the shock cord if you
are careful - remember to leave room for it to stretch - the other
option is sowing name tags on the deck release

Just a thought

Tosh! Use white text or graphics...?

More tosh!

I used the technique commercially on neoprene-proofed nylon gear with no
problems. Printing on to the nylon covering of neoprene items should not be
a problem. There is negligible heat transfer through the layers, IME, and
there is no direct contact between the iron and garment.

Change "font colour" in your document package?

It's easy to change things like that, here - on a decent computer. I presume
your PC or Mac can cope. After all, in order to print on to the transfer
paper you will need a bubble-jet printer (which can print in an array of
lovely colours as well as B&W).

If you are worried about white-on-white, do the original on screen in black
and then change to white-or-whatever or try changing the background colour.

Doh!!

White print is merely the absence of any ink! You cannot get white by
mixing pigments!

Enough to scorch white cotton if you don't keep the iron moving pretty
rapidly!

Duh!

You obviously have negligible grip of how these things work... Printing is
via a special transfer paper.

I have just tried printing white on to a black T-shirt - seems OK to me.*

Duh!

No ironing experts at the other place, then?

Instructions suggest setting the iron to 'cotton'. Now read my comment that
you quoted above.

I can't find any suggestion that the iron should be in direct contact with
the garment or that it should be left stationary until it smokes.

Nor do the instructions suggest that you test the temperature of your iron by
holding it against your face, nor do they supply a scorch-test colour chart
for the same purpose.

Nor do they suggest trekking to your nearest PC-Nerd shop and asking for a
tank of pearly-flo-white ink for your bumblejet 5006 printer.

You can, of course, do all or any of these things if you so wish.

Now, I must check white printing on to a white T-shirt...

Nice to see you can manage to be rude and obnoxious even when the BCU isnt

Good to see that Buckey can still make inaccurate and irrelevant
observations and manage ad hominem comments yet still make no contribution to
the topic.

No change, then.

Perhaps it's time to get off your high horse and enter the real world. Or
perhaps your giveaway mendacious outburst disguised as righteous indignation
is spurred by socially inadequate ironing ability or... is it the nebulous
reference to soiled underwear which causes you Freudian embarrassment?
