Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Hi guys, I have encounter this problem (picture attached) the 2nd time on 2 separate brand shirt. I have an all black design heat press on my white t-shirt using JetProSoftStretch and after washing some black where transfered on to other part of the shirt. They were faint but visible.
The black I uses was CMYK 75,68,67,90 for maximum richness. The printer setting was set to the highest to eleminate lines from my old epson. I appreciate all the help I can get. I need to brace for some not so happy customer.
Re: Black color transferred to other part of shirt
Sounds like excessive ink transfer. I've had this happen before too. Try washing the t shirt with bleach, the excess may come out.
I print on regular photo or text/photo on my new Epson and get a very good print with a lot less ink. I understand about the bands though my old Epson banded on anything but best photo too.
Try a setting with less ink, especially for black and red print. Maybe a new printer is in order... I picked up a refurbished C-88+ and it's been worth every penny.
Re: Black color transferred to other part of shirt
It's not the lower platen. The color only appears after washing.
What's annoying is it occurs randomly? So I have know idea if its too much ink or soaking while in the washer or humidity? Or cold spot? What is cold spot and how can you tell?
