Parte 1 Ok , usted tiene una camisa que es en parte o totalmente de poliéster , ¿qué hace? Veo demasiadas impresoras “P&P”, lo que yo llamo ” print and pray” (imprime y reza) y no importa de si se es religioso o no, yo rezaría durante el proceso de impresión. Necesitas un poco de ciencia y aquí está . Puede…
Here are some tests on a range of maroon colored polyester shirts. This is the test explained earlier, a drop of plasticizer and then a white fabric heated to 320 degrees F for 30 seconds. The nine shirts are a spectrum of results. Even shirts that don’t have much of a dye migration problem do…
As outlined in the earlier posts, you can heat up the polyester garment in question with a heat press and a drop of plasticizer will cause some dye to transfer to a piece of white jersey. Pretty much all fabric will transfer some of the dye, but it is a matter of degree. The more testing…
Printing on Poly, real world shirt issue: 1. On left: plasticizer test, 320 degrees for 30 seconds heat transferred to white square. That’s quite a bit of dye on the white. If we had done that test before printing a sample we would have saved ourselves some grief later. 2. On the bottom is our…

Normalmente se ha de lavar para ver si la tinta destiñe. Consiga una lavadora y una secadora para tu trabajo o llévate las camisas a casa. Esta es la única manera de saber si la tinta se ha curado. Puedes usar todo tipo de sondas de calor y dispositivos para hacer pruebas con la temperatura…
I figured I should post about single head embroidery machines with a laser since one of the cheapest dudes I have ever met in the industry has just purchased one. I’m sure Hirsch/Tajima can give you the numbers to run yourself, but I”m telling you that this guy I know would not be getting one…
Party’s about to get started at Layla’s on Broadway. Come on to the Honk Tonk Hoedown!
How do you know ink is cured on a shirt? Wash it as you normally would launder a shirt and see if the ink comes off. Get a washer and dryer at work or bring shirts home, that is the only way to be sure if the ink is cured. You can use all kinds…
