Ms. Blue
I am going to try to load a couple pics so you can see. Ultimately what is happening is this. when I press the Hotmark 70, it activates the inks in the shirt, they then absorb into the vinyl and make the stripes and graphics of the shirt appear in the vinyl itself almost as if the vinyl is semi-transparent. It is due to the sublimation ink in each particular jersey. The shirts I use are NOT sublimated by me, they are just the standard motocross jerseys that anybody can buy from a dealer. I have a terrible time with FOX jerseys, but most others go okay. Sometimes, NOFEAR will bleed like this red one also, but not always. Just depends on which particular model of shirt in their brand.
You can look at each shirt and see how the shirt graphics are visible through the lettering. Even when I use black as a base color on the FOX shirts, it's still bad. On this green shirt, I used silver and the silver is the thickest, most opaque color I have in my inventory and it still bleeds.
I have plans to attend a show in Philly this winter, I can't make it to Atlanta. Like I said in an earlier post, I am getting ready to experiment this winter and come back next season with something better....Thanks.....Pat......
