Default tagless printing help!

Hi everyone

I'm going to be printing tags into the backs of my t-shirts and have noticed that on a few of my t-shirts that ive already printed you can see the design coming through on the other side of the fabric , is there any way around this?

The tees im printing on are fruit of the loom heavyweights, im not sure if they could be the problem or not?

Use a soft squeegee with with light pressure. I use waterbased ink because it has no feel and its not as thick as plastisol and will print well with a light pressure stroke. ( But i've found that the most important thing is only ONE stroke with little pressure. ) you'll have to do it a couple times to find your sweet spot.

On white shirts you can see it if you hold it up to the light but when worn the print can't be seen.
