Hey, I'm new to heat press and was wondering how to fix this problem. At the moment, I'm using an epson 1400 with dye ink. I'm printing on 13" x 19" JPSS and pressing them on white shirts. I pre-press the shirt for 8-10 sec and then press the design for 30 sec at 375 degrees. After the hot peel I stretch the shirt slightly while it's still hot. My problem is after a day, the shirt starts to crack. What approach should I take to reduce or slow this down.

When I stretch it alot, the graphic starts to crack a couple minutes after.

After stretching cover it with parchment paper then repress for another 6 seconds with very heavy pressure. Peel the parchment while hot.

Just in case...
If you stretch the shirt by holding the right and the left of the shirt, it is normal that the JPSS crack (it's normal) . By holding the top and the bottom of the shirt the JPSS doesnt crack. It is because of the garment.
Hope this help a little...lol
