How did you apply the colors to the shirt, heat press, silk screen? What type of paper if heat press? What type of printer do you use? How long did you wait prior to washing.

Did you get a good cure on the shirts?? How did you cure them?? I can print and cure them in my dryer and take them to the washer same day with no problems.

Are you using a time cure additive as apposed to a dryer?
Agreed not cured, but why a fade in one area?
