and unfortunately, you are defeating the wicking capability of the jersey fabric by printing it with
silkscreen ink. the fibers where the ink is printed will loose not only any wicking capability, but
also any capability to breathe at all, since silk screen inks will blot up all the space betweent
threads in the fabric.
if you want jerseys that wick moisture properly, they need to be printed with a dye sublimation
process, not silkscreened.
