Question Newbie problems i fear

Hey guys,

Ive recently started printing my own tshirt designs with some iron on t shirt transfer papers. I scan my designs intot he computer then print them off, then iron them on. Ive had some great results but recently i have printed a text design onto a hoody and the deisgn has started to ripple slighlty and crack and its only 1 week old????

A tshirt i did at the same time is fine no problems? Is it the type of material im going onto, the quality of the transfer or just me missing a trick?

Im looking to get a really good quality, colour, durable finish to the clothes am i going about ti all wrong???

Sorry for all the Qs on my first post

Please help anyone lol

Thanks a lot

Hi,
I assume you are using a hand iron from your post? If so, you will not get consistant results. Invest in a heat press. Also, you need to let us know what type of transfer paper you are using & if you are using a inkjet printer, pigment inks are a must. The more info you can share, the more this forum can help you, such as what printer, inks, & paper you are using.
