Plastisol tranfer cracking after 1st wash! hey peoples!
long time read (very long time) first time poster here!
ok i've searched and search for an answer to this but can't see to find the answer, or i'm just blind and not reading it right.
basically me and my friend are doing t-shirts via plastisol transfer method.
every single step of the way we've had challenges from putting emulsion on the screen to burning ourselves on the heat press.
we've come to the very last step!!! THANK GOD!!!
pretty much we do the whole tranfer process all fine and well, we transfer it onto the shirt and it's all sweet (not 100% of the time which is annoying!!) but most of the time it works.
we let it sit and chill and everything, do the stretch test and no cracks, feels great, looks great gave it a kiss and it was sweet.
put it in for the first wash as a test and cracks and creases appeared, when stretched they appeared even more...
someone please tell me what has gone wrong here!!?? if it transfers nicely onto the shirt and has no cracks doesn't that mean it was a successful transfer with heat, pressure and time?
sorry about the long story but please help us!! |
