T-shirt printing business is one of the most profitable businesses that you can get into. The great thing about this type of business is that it’s fueled by local demand. It’s no secret that typical oversea cities or towns never run out of local organizations that seek out to commemorate their own special events. Then, you need to own a heat transfer machine. And today’s article will share some useful tips about it.
Applying Too Much Heat
As we all know, when the heat press machine works, it requires a lot of heat, so never be scared of using a lot to transfer the artwork to your fabrics appropriately. Because if you don’t use enough heat, you might end up with your design not sticking properly which may cause an issue during washing. Therefore, the rule just follows the temperature settings recommended on your transfer paper.
Choosing The Right Fabric
Note that not all fabrics are suitable for heat press printing. Any garment that melts when put on a hot surface (i.e, heat sensitive materials) should never be heat printed on. And the most popular fabrics for rotary heat press include nylon, spandex, cotton, polyester, and Lycra.
Positioning Your Garment Properly
None of your clients will buy/wear crooked cloths! And to prevent that from happening, always make sure that the sublimation transfer paper is correctly aligned to the back of your fabric.
ALWAYS Test Print
Before you can print your design from dye sublimation paper to your fabric, always make sure you test it by simply printing it on an old garment. This step will give you an idea of how your end product will look like after printing.
