TROUBLE STRUCK: HELP NEEDED
Hi Everyone
I am facing the issue of black vinyl peeling off in the adjoining picture.
It has been happening only with the black vinyl, rest of the colors are fine.
This has been happening after a few days of the first wear. I have applied Heat transfer vinyl (other colors of vinyl on to the colored fabric) sometimes using household iron and sometimes using heat press but have never experienced this before. Here are the details:
HTV Brand: BFlex
Preheat temperature: 150 deg celcius
Pressing time: 15-20 seconds
Shirt material: Pure Cotton (Brand Anko available at Kmart)
Heat press used: Vevor
I tried pressing the vinyl again using heat press but on one or two shirts it started to peel off again after I test washed it. I am giving it a normal wash with maximum temperature of 80 degree celcius (in accordance with the data sheet of the vinyl).
I had a word with someone else in the company and was told that the white fabrics and garments are coated with some sort of stain resistant coating so they don't get stained while passing through many hands. This may interfere with the sticking of the vinyl.
What am I doing wrong guys?
