I always get some ink transfer on the teflon, but it doesn't change the imprinted image on the garment. When you do your second press and the ink comes off, is is altering the appearance of the image in a negative way? If so, can you attach pictures?
what do you use to repress jpss??

The folks stretch it while the transfer is hot to open the weave so the tranfer does not dry/cure with the weave closed. Once they open it up with the stretch, they re-press it to re-set it into the fiber.
If you've gotten cracking with the JPSS, it could be because you only stretched and didn't re-press to reset the ink/polymer.
When you say Iron on paper, do you mean Ironall, Jim? Thanks. (Second thread I've seen with that name and I'm really curious what paper you mean.)
I used to use Ironall, and there is no difference in a freshly printed image. The difference for me came out of the washing machine. I did find I could stop the Ironall light from fading by using a Jerzees HW 5050 shirt (29), but the others faded, and some miserably. I tested FOLT, Anvil, Gildans, Hanes, the Jerzees of course.
Are you using a new version of Ironall paper, or some of the new batch of the regular old version? Thanks.
Thanks for the reasoning behind repressing JPSS. I now will try it, even though I don't have a problem with it now. And the "fuzz" look on my first shirt is gone. The wife said she just threw it in with a load of whites and added bleach.

Thanks to you, too, Terry. Recently, I used your tip. I burnt my fingers trying to peel the JPSS (again, as usual) and in trying to avoid getting burnt, I took too long. I said, dang this, I re-heated the shirt, picked it up and stretched it with the backer paper on. Worked much easier, but I think I have to peel the remainder faster than what I did.
:tipthank:
Hi kelly.
Thanks for pointing out why a lot of people streach the garment and then re-press, as that clears that up for me now
The paper i mean is Iron All for darks, and then the same type Iron All for whites.
Works a treat for me, and i prefear this new inproved (from what the seller in UK told me it was) and i tryed the old Iron All for darks and had some issues like others did, but this new inproved one on 100% cotton works realy well, and i just ordered another 50 sheets
Its all trial and error i suppose, and i have now gone through a lot of the papers, even the so called self weeding one, which i have to say after several trys i gave up on it it
Customers seem to realy like the Iron All paper and the feel and so the way i look at it is, if the customer is happy then i`m happy
I still use a a lot of Vinyl thoe for tops and such.

Thanks for writing, Jim. I'm an Ironall Dark user over here. I love it. When it hit those QC issues those last few months, I realized how vulnerable I was not having a back up. I am going to test the JetWear. I hear it's a bit thicker, but still makes folks happy. During the QC failure of Ironall Dark, I also picked up a cutter to avoid being so dependant on these dark papers, seeing how a QC mess up could really leave me hanging like that.
I am so, so happy to hear you got the *good* Ironall Dark. When it does not have QC issues, it's awesome, I agree. Have a great weekend, and thanks again for taking the time to write back. Continued good luck to you...

As always kelly, its been polite replying to a post you previously had some good information replyed to something, and its only been polite.
Always nice to speak to you kelly and i hope your weekend went well

To Terry: Not sure, there's the Ironall Dark that I have stock of: good stuff, holds color (w/Durabrite), stretchy, peels nice. Then there was that stuff that had the QC issues, bad peels, etc. Then they said the QC issues were taken care of and the same regular good quality of Ironall Dark was back out.
As far as a new improved Ironall Dark that is different from current regular Ironall Dark, we are still waiting on official word of any new such product. I am sure if it comes out, there will be testing and then an announcement as to who is carrying it. For now, nothing to chat about on that. I hope this helps answer some Q's, it's all I got for ya!
Ironall Dark is more plasticky than JPSS. That is the nature of dark/opaque papers, but Ironall Dark is one of the thinner/thinnest as far as I've heard.
Terry,
, don't be so hard on yourself. We're all human, buddy, you were posting what you thought to be true at the time. Thanks for letting us know the update on the status of the fuzzies. To Jim, thanks, and to you, too.
