Interest Thread: Trek XI GOLD DYED PRINTED FABRIC

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates - okay, so as the plan goes, we are going to buy the jumbo spandex to have it dyed. I am still also working on the process to error correct the right colors for the delta pattern.
 
oh yes, that's another layer I forgot to tell you guys...the deltas are DIFFERENT colors for each fabric. Even production found this to be the toughest part in creating these specials fabrics. Ugh ! I can't wait.
 
It figures that the same color (presumably would have to be a shade of gray which, if I understand dye sublimation correctly, only tints the fabric and any underlying color will show through) for the delta pattern would not have had acceptable results for all three uniform colors, as it seems nothing about it so far has been easy.
 
Hey guys, sorry for burying my head in the sand on this one - I found out some very good information that impacts this project. Makes everything better of course - Keep on signing up, I am trying to connect the dots.
 
Hi guys,

I can't believe I finally got into this club. I have been following this a little bit from ASAP. Happily I've got cash. Put me down for the 3 yards please.

GotMaul - Hey this is 'fightstar' from the 300dc.com forums. Love the work you are doing here. If I had the money I would throw it down for one of these.
