 dark shirts and yellow ink
Hello all:
I have done some printing on light shirts but I am now faced with an order of 95 navy blue shirts with yellow gold ink but seem to be running inti a few problems.
Some of the shirts appear to have the ink absorbing into the shirt after drying and are not showing up as bright as they are when printed. Also the ones that are not being absorbed into the shirts are drying with a glossy finish. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
I am using Plastsol Triangle ink, yellow/gold (I did thin with soft hand base but didn't notice any difference.)
I apply two coats of ink and flashed between the coats with the flash dryer 2 inches from the shirt.
I cured the shirts using the flash dryer (don't have conveyor) for 60 seconds with the ink reaching 320 for ten seconds.
I have wasted about a dozen shirts but I have to eventually figure out what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for any help. |
