Hi. I'm trying to print some t-shirts at home using iron on transfers and haven't had much success. I wanted to try some for a business and maybe get lots printed if they turn out well. Here's what I've tried so far.
Tesco - the clear sections are yellow Hewlett Packard - peeled after one wash IBM - cracking and starting to peel after one wash
All of them were done on white 100% cotton T-shirts and washed at 40 degrees. Although I washed them all on cold the first time and they cracked and peeled on cold. I'm ironing them on for long enough so that's not a problem. Really I want to be able to sell these t-shirts.
Could anyone please recommend a make that they have actually tried and they know works well. It's costing a lot of money in t-shirts and transfers as well. I think there is only epson left that's available in the UK. Will they crack and peel too?
