I am a screen printer and young entrepreneur, I run a t-shirt printing and design business with a partner. Lately we have been hearing about shirts that have been washing out which is scary, we've never had this issue before. We have been using plasticol inks bought from Ryonet and M&R Printing so I am trying to figure out what the issue is.
Is there any ink in particular that I should be using to print on 50/50 cotton/poly or any recommendations for permanent/high quality inks?
I use a flash dryer to temporarily cure my inks in between colors and then we finalize them with a very basic heat-press (12 seconds at 172 degrees Celsius, how long should I be pressing these shirts and at what temperature?
If you can think of anything else that could be causing this issue please let me know I need to fix this problem immediately!
Thanks everybody!
