If the material is 100% polyester than you could use a sublimation process....assuming the material was a light color.

But really, it comes down to using a high opacity ink and a mesh count that does not plaster the ink on.

I prefer to use a 137 mesh, with a thicker EOM and instead of using a couple heavy print stokes I simply use a heavy FLOOD, with a light print stroke.

This allows the ink to lay on top of the garment for opacity, and does not fill in the holes so the material can still breath.

Union makes a special ink called NYLOC which is an air dry ink made more for nylon and no-garment material, but it is a thin opaque ink. I have never used it on mesh jerseys, but it works great on umbrellas.
