is it a particular style or brand that consistently does it?since nobody mentioned it; I've screenprinted thousands of shirts, caps, etc.....mostly plastisol ink, heat cured, some transfers etc.
You can run a batch of green shirts with a white print, it goes perfectly...then some shirts out of the same box just don't take the ink!
The fabric is from another roll, that has too much sizing applied, and it rejects the ink, or causes hell when it goes thru the dryer etc......quality control at the fabric mill is the problem, not the garment sewer, or the screen printer.
However....it all falls to the printer to address any issues and put a decent product out the door...their loss.
....which is why I don't screenprint garments anymore!![]()

That's because that is a patch for a problem during curing. Also a no no.It's been a very long time since doing any screen prints on garments, I don't remember heat being part of the process. Maybe I just don't recall that part. Still though, the registration of the two colors on the op's shirts is terrible. Heat won't fix that.
