What the heck happen to this jeresy?

[houseofgrafix]

Used Imprintables Warehouse sub stop stuff.

They brought it back with the edges coming up a bit and this dis coloring.

I wonder what the heck happen?

The others look great! just like this

Hmm this is interesting...what is the label inside of the core say? it almost looks like the vinyl delaminated from the adhesive...

the stuff for you guys?

sub stop




too me i think the customer used super hot settings on their dryer.

 

[Mike_Koval]

That is def a possibility. If the dryer is super hot it can cause that dye to come thru like that.

Is there a lot number on the label?

 

[houseofgrafix]

nope.. lot # is blank

Not real impressed with the one that "looks great" either. Should be opaque.

 

[Mike_Koval]

grrr...have you been able to reproduce this?

well that's a plus...dye sub jersey's are so tough with heat transfer. keep me posted on this...i would venture to say the customer dried at a high temp

I use Stahls ThermoFilm on dye sub jerseys (mainly motocross) and have never had a problem with opaqueness or washing.

Did you ask the customer how they washed/dried it? Are you sure you used the proper settings when you pressed it? Did it look good when it left your shop?

Have not talked to him yet.
I'm "sure" but I don't do a lot of printwear so you never know.
and when it left the shop it looked great

the thing with dye migration is it doesn't happen immediately. It can sometimes take a day or more. The heat is what causes this. It is basically re-activating the dyes in the fabric.

I always stress to never dry a dye-sub jersey that has a transfer on it.
