Hi! I'm new to screen printing but I'm having some problems. My print fades after 4-5 washes. I don't know if it really faded actually, the ink is still thick enough but the color somehow becomes lighter. I've tried curing the ink using a heat gun and also with an iron but the results are still the same. I'm using a JJ Virgo wetlook paint on a Winner brand t-shirt. Is there possibly something wrong with my process or is that just how JJ Virgo paint goes?
I hope somebody could help.
Thanks in advance.

wetlook is a transparent ink if you use it in a colored tshirt their color are going to mix wetlook is for white or light colored shirt onty. but if you mix a litle super white in it thats the only way to make the paint opaque on a dark colored t-shirt.

I thought wetlook (Black) is for any color? awww they told me that only black in wetlook is the only color that can be used in any colored fabric.

mixing superwhite.. do I need to put water or something? As is lang pag nilagay ung superwhite? I mean ok na un?
