This is something I figured out by practicing on the same shirt, printing the same design down the front of the shirt.
- I used the heat gun to dry the first print which was not very crisp...you know how those white on black shirts are; either faded looking ink, or to much ink and blurred from over doing it.
- So after I used the heat gun, I went to print another....it actually came out perfect! I put the heat to that one as well...then another...perfect!
- I took a short break and came back, this time it came out bad
- Why? I cured that one and did another...perfect!...then...
omg! Could it be the heat? Is warming the shirt first helping? I noticed that as I printed the ink was not as thick. But I thought that the heat made the ink dry...not loosen up
But this worked for me. I went to get my black shirts. I pre-heated each of them and they all came out PERFECTLY!
I wore one today I was so proud!
I hope this helps someone who is trying to print white ink on black shirts and finding it difficult to get a quality print.
PRE-HEAT!
(If someone already discovered this (which I am sure they have), please don't ruin my moment...I feel special!!
