Hi, this is Walt the new guy in DTG. I'm having customers bring shirts back that faded after one wash, and I have followed Anajet's instructions of 350 deg. for 40 seconds... Now I have been heat setting as soon as they come off the press: does this type of ink need to cool set for a while before pressing? The shirts that faded so far, were pastels: Ash and Natural Hanes Beefys...All suggestions welcomed...wl
