You are not heating them long enough. Try increasing the time under the heat press to 90 seconds and then check the washability.

I would also suggest not using Hanes Beefy T's for digital garment printing. We have heard from customers using the Beefy T's that they do not print or wash well due to the type of fabric Hanes uses for them. The other Hanes 100% cotton models do not have these problems as they use a different cotton weave.
