I recently had a problem with the Everlast (Dark) transfer paper and contacted the company from where i bought them...i did several test washes at various degrees + also washed at the instructed wash i was given. The results were not good and i stated these in a previous post so no need to go into detail!

However i havn't got around to testing the JPSS (light) paper and have just continued to print my t-shirts, gearing up to sell them in a couple of weeks. I havn't test wash mainly due to time and also because i had read some positive reviews on the paper! My only concern is i'm worried that my customers may not conform to washing instructions since it is impossible for me to tell every person that buys a t-shirt how it must be washed! Secondly most t-shirts are standardly washed at 40 degrees and not cold temp as JPSS and most other transfer papers recommend!

I was going to get neck labels made up with wash instructions or include tags to attach to garments to indicate washing instructions but this is all far to time consuming for me as i'm already behind schedule! However i have no choice if JPSS paper is similar to Everlast Dark if washing and not conforming to washing instructions!

The question i want to ask people is...has anyone washed these at 30-40 degrees and got good results or should these be washed according to instructions! What are people's results from washing!

thanks for any help!

This link shows JPSS being washed in bleach. That is against wash instructions, plus warm water and a hot dryer.

thanks Mark...i did see that post not so long ago, however that was 1 persons experience. I just wanted a mixture of opinions from others that might of tried to do the same since this could also be down to printer/ink used + colours. I bought the Everlast Dark on the basis i saw a similar post about it, but had a very bad experience and was just greatful i did a test wash prior to selling the t shirts since washing in 30 degrees totally ruined the print.

there seems to be a very big gap still between the progression of white/light coloured transfer paper and dark coloured paper.

if anyone else has some good ideas please let me know. Is it worth going to the hassle of making labels or tags to let people know washing instructions or have we reached a level with JPSS that it can be washed like standard t shirts in 40 degrees!

You can wash the shirts with JPSS with any settings with washing machine and dryer I know I do and I wash them with Bleach.
