T shirt printing

In the process of producing my heat transfer prints a few things went wrong and created some learning curves to take into further consideration when in this process.

-100% cotton does not take the colour transfer to its full potential and therefore the outcomes are faded instead many man made materials are better Polyester is one of these
- Colours of material is limited to light colours, the darker the shirt the less that will be seen
-When using the heat press first thing in the morning or that day be cautious of what else will be transferred onto the pale tops i.e. two new t-shirts just had a yellow colour printed onto them from material transfer from other students that settled over night and now need washing as they appear to have tea poured down them.
-If you want a bright print, get it done professionally for quality reasons, it would be more expensive but worth the process
