Default help with ironall on polyester.

i've been having problem with durability for ironall on elastic polyester. it looks great, but i can scratch on the image and it'll look old and faded.

i'm printing off a c88+ with the original durabrite ink at text/image settings. Heat press for 15secs@ 350+/-25*F

the avery transfer i bought at officedepot doesn't scratch off, but i don't like the shiny film it left on the finish.

i appreciate any tips, help, suggestions.

Thanks.

Are you letting the printed transfer dry before pressing?

maybe try bumping up the press time to 25 seconds....also, pressure too...depending upon what you have that set for.
