Thank you all! I have a question...we started out using JPSS for lights and love the quality. We had a couple of issues with it:

1. The colors just are not as bright as we would like them.
2. When we pull the transfer off of the shirt after pressing (hot peel), it makes the shirt appear fuzzy in that area.

We then tried Red Grid Light. We love the color, but the images are cracking before washing them and even more so after being washed. I just cant send these to my customers looking like this So we are back to using JPSS but still worried about the color. Any advice on how to get a brighter color with the JPSS? Or is it just not possible?

Here are the steps we used to press JPSS and Red Grid

1. Pre-press for 5 secs
2. Press image at 375 for 30 seconds (very heavy pressure)
3. Hot peel and stretch
4. Sometimes I will re-press with parchment paper if the shirt fibers are fuzzy after peel.

We are using the Hix Swingman 15.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Our goal is to find a mixture of the JPSS and Red Grid paper

Thanks in advance!!
