Hi All,

The flock i am printing should be pressed at 160. I am getting press marks on black 50/50 poly cotton. Do you think this temp is too high and is possibly scorching the polo? How would you get around this? I have qty-186 black polo's to flock print with left breast logo and sleeve logo print, I have ironed the first few which seems to help a little but im gonna be ironing forever!!!! Hope you can help, thanks in advance!

Michelle

160c or 320f isn't too hot for the polo, more than likely.
The color change is probably just moisture being removed from the garment. This really shows when printing on red garments. Let the shirts set for a few hours and the color should return.

Also, do you use a cover sheet( Kraft paper or teflon)? I recommend using them. It keeps the dirty heater platen from marking up a clean garment.

Best of luck!
