Default Question about heat setting when printing two sides

Hi,

I searched but didn't come up with a definitve answer on this as it pertains to DTG printing. Say I'm printing a shirt on front and back. Do I print one side, heat press it, print the other side and heat press that side. Or do I print both sides and heat press them at the same time, I guess using my teflon sheet or whatever top and bottom? Thanks, I'm just worried about messing up the shirt, heat press surface or both by doing it wrong. Also looking for the most efficient way to do it. Thanks.

You would print one side and a time and cure and then print the other side and cure

Hi!

I agree. It would seem easier to set it at once, but you may damage the image on the opposite side, or the opposite image may not get the right amount of heat and not cure correctly.
