Hey guys I just pressed an order using JPSS on Anvil 980 white shirts. I noticed that the transfers were nearly flawless except where the shirts had small flaws(kinda like small pills). Some of the shirts has small white marks that that ink couldn't cover.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a better shirt that wouldn't have the small flaws? Each 980 shirt had several of the bumps on it. We had similar problems with Gildan shirts(heavy cotton I think). Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Joe

Gildan happens to own Anvil (since 2012), and American Apparel, too. I'm not saying that only Gildan shirts would have this defect, but you might try something outside of their organization and see.

Noxide,

Thanks for the quick reply and the info. Have you had the same problem? What shirts are you using? I thought since the Anvil was combed and ring spun it would be a more consistent shirt. I am hoping others have had a good experience with specific shirts and have suggestions.

50/50 blends alleviate this issue
gildan dry-blends work very well with jpss

Into the T....I was worried about poly and the press or paper marks from the pressure needed to get a good transfer. I will give one a try though. Thanks!

Sorry about the double posts. I keep getting an error and it seems to want me to send it again.

I mainly screen print, but have done some JPSS, just not a lot. I didn't notice a problem like you describe. At the time, I was using American Apparel 2001 (before Gildan bought them). But low sample size on my part, so that proves nothing.

never had any issues with press marks and the heavy-heavy pressure
plus i also do a 10-12 sec re-press

just finished some jpss mock-ups yesterday on the dry-blends
no marks
(unfortunately the original pic for the tee was pretty bad,
so i could not do too much without it looking fake)
