How to Fix Scorch Marks Heat Press

[@RichardGroulx]

262f seems quite low for dtf transfers. Any issues with that?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Absolutely agree you can adjust and do your own testing I’ve found that it works great for me but generally anywhere from 270-300 is good for polyester

This may work on a blend or cotton t-shirt. Will never work on a 100% polyester t-shirt. Not only will you get a square but you will also get discoloration especially if you are using a Carolina blue or silver shirt. The squares on the poly shirts and color change are from the temperature. If you reduce the temperature the print wont pop and will look dull. If you are moving any serious volume you won't have time for all these steps anyway.

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

I’m moving serious volume and I simply put an employee on this step! The shirts are 100% polyester and it works on silver and Carolina blue

Doesn’t that heat press snap in place without having to stand on a step stool and pressing down while heating?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Yes absolutely, we are using autoclamp now!

[@jenikeen]

This was GREAT!!

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Thank you for taking the time to comment I’m happy it helped:)

Can you repair heat pressed strips on an nfl jersey?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

What do you mean by “repair”?

I bought a shirt (a very light pink, near white, not sure the material) that looked fine when i received it, but after I washed and dried it, it had this big ugly orange rectangle stain from when it was printed. I’m confused as to why this appeared after washing and how I can fix it, because rewashjng and stain remover won’t fully work (they did seem to help though). I used I think 40°C to wash and probably the same to dry

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Did you see my other videos on how to fix scorch marks!? They should help you out

[@DragonflyMel]

@ thx! :)

[@colleenburns4039]

What have you got attached to your press that measures where your print sits exactly in the middle? I use dtf gang sheets. What press settings do you use please? Thanku😊

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

I’m not sure about the first question you’ve ask can you please repeat it? And I use 269F x10s for 100% Polyester 292F x15s for 50/50 305F x17s for 100% Cotton

[@colleenburns4039]

You have tape or something on your press that tells you exactly where to place the shirt for centre without having to check each shirt individually ? Hope that makes more sense 😂

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

@@colleenburns4039 ahahah yes it does! We use measuring tape but mostly all of our garments are placed on a table and we manually place them and measure them with the logo on the shirt before we do the heat press step!

[@colleenburns4039]

Do you have a video on how you do this measuring process please?

[@ivetteortiz4956]

I love that design on the shirt. Is the svg file for sale?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Unfortunately, It’s a clients original logo! Thanks for the kind compliment tho I’m sure you can find something online that will be very very similar :)

[@Zentruth]

Hi, I have two teflon pads(pillows). One thick, one thin. Can I use the thin one (about 1cm) on top of my shirt?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

That should work, try both for best results

[@Zentruth]

@@WHOLEPRINTING thanks for the timely response

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

@@Zentruth keep me posted on your journey & happy printing:)

[@JGreenVA]

Or just let it cool, then throw in the dryer! Lower pressure on press as well!

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Yes wonderful tip!

[@OccasionalHaHa]

What are these small brown circular marks? I got a drop of water on my 100% cotton shirt, but didn't think anything of it. Now the spot has turned into a light tan color. Can I wash it out after the ink settles?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Try washing but what was your heat press settings? Temperature, Time and Pressure?

[@AgnoySarangay]

If my PET flim roll has humidity can I dry it in sun, would it fix it?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Very good question! I don’t think so, however I’ve never tried

[@printedmemoriesbyclaudette5092]

Hello, do you have any printhead for the L1800 dtf machine I have just like yours, and are they brand new and how much?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Yes I have some. wprinting.ca/collections/dtf-inks-direct-to-film-inks/products/replacement-printer-print-head-epson-1390-1400-1410-1430-l1800-1500w

[@keriereckards850]

Ironing never works for me

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Sorry to hear that, how long do you usually press your 100% polyester garments also what pressure and heating degree?

[@TimBergin-q9p]

if you had an order of 100 shirts, would you really do all these steps as shown??

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Absolutely! Quality over quantity any day, especially if your in it for the long run, you can get yourself an employe to make the whole process a lot quicker:)
