I just searched the posts and didn't see any answers to this. apologies if i missed something.
Anyway, sometimes my prints crack. I use water-based textile inks, not plastisol. I'm wearing a shirt I made earlier this week, which is a black shirt with i think 3 layers of white ink on it in a fairly simple design. Some areas have cracked and if I fold the fabric I can create a crack.
How can I avoid this? I don't want to be selling bad merchandise. Did I cure too long, not enough, not hot enough? I use a pretty hot heat gun to set and dry ink in between layers.
Thanks
Brent
