Default Re: Ananjet - washability of garments

Walt,

Have you checked your temperature of your heat press? I am only asking because some of them can be off. What you should try to do is mimick the same job that is being returned in smaller sections (3 to 4 times on one shirt and changing the time and temperature for each one. Make sure that you mark the shirt with the time, temperature and pressure you used with a permanment marker so you can repeat it later on. Otherwise, make this information part of the design. Then wash the shirt yourself and see what looks best. For your heat press, you might have to go with a higher temperature or a longer dwell time. Some testing is required because there are so many factors involved (i.e. type of fabric, heat press factors, humidity, how it was washed,...).

Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Mark
