We had this issue once before, and it crept back up today. I was wash testing my latest batch of shirts and discovered that I was not getting consistent results.

All Gildan 2000 black shirts. All pretreated within 30 minutes of one another, using the same process. All printed on same machine, same ink, same resolution. All cured exactly the same within 30 minutes of each other. All looked awesome after printing and curing.

The Honduras shirt came out of the wash as expected. Looked great, with no cracking during the stretch test. The Haiti shirt came out looking perfect, but had minor cracking during the stretch test, but still looked great after releasing the stretch. The Nicarauga shirt had very minimal cracking immediately out of the wash, but MAJOR cracking during the stretch test that remained post stretch.

I did a prolonged test with other colors rotating between countries and the results stayed the same.

I am attributing this to the sizing chemical used at each mill being different and leaving a different residue on the shirts.

Has anyone else experienced this?

yeah, we have had this same problem.

Now, since we use Gilden almost exclusively we are having problems with Anvil which is odd because we
love Anvil but don't use them often
