Plastisol printings wash/care instructions

Post by ppdlao »

Hi everybody, I´ve been out of line for several months but, we are back :) ... so my question is, does anyone has like the ultimate wash/care instructions guide for Plastisol printings! ... this come to my mind when today I discovered my second printed t shirt has been ruined, I´m pretty shure it ocurred when it was being ironed, even though it was turned inside out (I couldn't find the correct expression, but my t shirts are ironed on the "inside" side) so, it seems like the printings shouldn't be ironed never, what do you think?

well, that´s my doubt guys so, thanks in advance for any answer or comment! see you!

So good to see you back on the forum Pepe!!!

I have never had any issues ironing inside out so maybe the iron was too hot. Even a very hot tumble dryer can make plastisol inks tacky.

I would think you should be able to iron them inside out so check on that heat setting.
