Pcrat 65 Posted February 20, 2014 ok, so i got the white paper yesterday, gave it a try on a white 100% Cotton T Shirt Image came out GREAT, but the shirt got a little yellow, i guess from what ive read, it got burnt, Peeled Hot, used a teflon sheet, jetpro says 380 degrees for 25 seconds.. pressure was good so, the temp must be way off. need to get a thermal gun and see if its the right temp, 380 seems pretty hot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted February 20, 2014 Yup you burnt it, lower the temp to 375 and press for 30 seconds. However the temp I use is 350 and press for 30 seconds and firm pressure. Never had one mess up yet. Some heat press's are different than others, its a test and find out what works best for you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted February 20, 2014 Mine says 410 for JPSS but I've never checked the accuracy of my press. I just go by what works for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pcrat 65 Posted February 20, 2014 ok, yea will lower the temp and maybe add a bit of pressure and 5 more seconds.. On a side note tho, my daughter just bought a printed hoodie from some retail store, who prints and presses, had 2 sleaves, front and back, all one direction stuff,, payed $60.00!! and first wash its peeling off lol. I could probebly peel it all off and press all new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah someone didn't press long enough or hot enough. Also with hoodies you might want to add a Teflon pillow underneath to help with the pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pcrat 65 Posted February 20, 2014 Yea, and for 60.00 lol I guess he was an arab, not saying he didnt know what he was doing, ok maybe he didnt know what he was doing lol but they said he was the only one doing it all and looked over worked and in a hurry. I just found out a few minutes ago, her first wash she didnt wash it inside out.. but they never gave any directions with it either, I bought one a long time ago when i was a wee lad, lol and i still remember they stapled a small piece of paper to the plastic bag showing the instructions.. like i cared then lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted February 20, 2014 Still even with washing without doing the inside out it shouldn't have come off at least the shirts and hoodies I did for me didn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pcrat 65 Posted February 20, 2014 ok then yea,,, yea peeled alot off easlily with fingers.. so some stuck good but some didnt,, so now its just a wear around the house $$$ hoodie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted February 20, 2014 Its ridiculous they charge that much I would go in there and request a refund or get them to do another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted February 21, 2014 That JPSS is real tough too, I have a couple test shirts that I lost counting on a year ago and still doing great. I read somewhere that you can take Hydrogen peroxide and remove the burnt look? can't remember and I am pretty sure it was on the edges not on the actual transfer but you might try it.

Pcrat 65 Posted February 21, 2014 Thats a 45 min drive back to the mall lol. I would love to set up a kiosk at the mall for t shirts... once I get it all down.. yea price was high as hell.. 10 dallors per print.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted February 21, 2014 That price is crazy. To be fair I never take the time to turn my stuff inside out even though I tell the customers to do it before washing. Around my house now they come off is how they go in the washer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted February 22, 2014 I made a Dean Martin T-shirt for myself back in July and let me tell ya I wore it twice a week and washed it I even fell asleep with it on and not one issue. The stuff works and it works well. Just remember to store it in a cool dry place and all should be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pcrat 65 Posted February 24, 2014 Ok so Lowered it to 370F, let up on the pressure by half a turn 25 Seconds. No burn mark this time. Will wear it around and wash it a few times and see how it holds up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will wear it around and wash it a few times and see how it holds up. zombieshirt1.png Way to go dude. I like the design. I have a Red Jacket Firearms shirt that has a Zombie Response Unit circle on the back. I'm telling you the JPSS is like nothing else. That RJ shirt has been through the ringer so many times I've lost count and not a sign of a problem in fact the graphic is so soft you can't even tell how it ever got on there.

Pcrat 65 Posted February 24, 2014 its not my design, just something i pulled to test it out. I like it. yea right off the bat, you can BARELY feel the design... thats nice. only problem with this blank is that its just a walmart blank, so i dont think it will hold up ( colors ) in the wash. but see if atleast it dont peel. u need to post that picture of your RJ shirt.. i wanna see that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted February 25, 2014 Here is a pic. The back design was one I saw online somewhere and made my own copy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pcrat 65 Posted February 25, 2014 yep i like that. very nice! No fadding at all looks like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted February 25, 2014 Axel don't always count that a Wal-Mart blank will make the design come off. My Dean Martin t-shirt is on a Wal-Mart blank and has stayed on after 10 wash's so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pcrat 65 Posted February 25, 2014 ahh , ive heared that walmart shirts are pre chemical for stain fighting etc... but hey if they work great, can drive down the road when im in a pinch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted February 25, 2014 I get people bringing in Walmart shirts for me to do quite a bit and I've never had 1 come off yet. I prefer my shirts though because quite simply i make money on my shirts and only make the transfer fee on their shirts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
