Thumbs up how durable are heat pressed shirts?

im wondering how durable heat transfered shirts are. does the design stay on the shirt after several washes? would it be a good idea to use them as carelabels if they are durable enough??

and oh.
how is the quality of heat pressing?

Default Re: how durable are heat pressed shirts?

I have a cafe I made some shirts for back in Feb. of this year. The owner has worn them everyday and they have been washed 3 times a week. She told me the other day that she was going to have to have me make her some more because all of the bleach she uses to clean with has eaten small holes in the shirt underneath the design where bleach water has splashed up on her shirt.
I printed with ironall and durabrite inks and the design though a little faded still looks great. That has lasted extremely well in my opinion.

Hope this helps...
