 Re: White Ink (Post Wash Peel)
Joe, just wanted to let you know you are not the only one experience white ink peeling.
I've had it happen on t-shirts where when it was first printed it looked great. Fantastic coverage of white ink and looked smooth as anything. After washing it would peel at the edges, and the whole entire layer could be peeled off. This problem I found only on certain types of t-shirts, mostly the ones with very tight knits (thus good coverage) and those that were enzyme treated.
I think overpretreatment might have been an issue with my t-shirts as well. I need to do more testing.
Also, I agree with you on the higher PSI = better washability. I did some test with low PSI, almost just touching the t-shirt and the results were pretty bad. However, that was with Teflon sheets and I'm now converting to silicone parchment paper for final curing. It seems to let the moisture escape more. |
