Default Duracotton question

I am using Duracotton98 and there is a faint line that dissapears when washed. Will it negate the newness if I wash them after I press them and then sell them or should I sell them as is?

Thank you

Amanda

You should sell them as-is. A washed shirt is not really a "new" shirt. Just let your customers know that the line will disappear in the first wash.

Amanda,

Is the faint line you're referring to caused by the border from the edge of the paper?

Default Re: Duracotton question

yes how do I get rid of it? i have tried pressing at 405 for as long as 42 seconds i don't want to burn the fabric.

Also do they have dark yet? i want to sample that if they have it

Default Re: Duracotton question

I'm waiting on the new DuraCotton HT to arrive so that I can test it in my Oki printer, so I'm not an expert. But they say to remove any polymer "window" you should press again after peeling for a few more seconds using a teflon sheet. Also, it's important that your press remain at 400+ degrees for the entire time that it is in contact with the paper. Hope this helps.
