Re: Last Long? Depends how well it's been done and what vinyl or transfer you used and how hard it's worn/washed.

Re: Last Long? I have some vinyl ones that have been worn for well over 3 years! probably about once every other week, so I'd say 60-70 washes so far...

Thank you, wow you must have had better luck than I did, when I printed some of my first transfers with my epson c88, I experienced some color shift with greys going green. Looking at the pic that you posted it did not appear you experienced any color shifting at all .. awesome

What have you found to be most effective with color shifting? It seems to me not only do your shirts hold good color but hold up very well to washing also
