Instagram post 2222053289474011380_1949531602 Have you ever heat set your screen printed 100% polyester shirt and lifted it to discover the your ink now looks faded? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ณ Just when I thought I had the hang of screen printing ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ #sponsoredโ  โ  I learned some really helpful tips (the hard way) and I'm here to share them with you! โ  โ  There are other ways that the pros address this issue but they would require getting special inks or more equipment. So, to keep it simple with what you have, my biggest tip is heat setting at a lower temperature. I adjusted my Easy Press 2 to 305 for 40 seconds. After a couple of washes, the ink has stayed on nicely even at this lower temp. โ  โ  Want to avoid the headache of this dye migration issue? Choose a light color shirt and darker ink when you are working with 100% polyester!โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  โ  #hanes #champion #ChampionUSA #cricut #cricutmade #cricutmaker #cricuttutorial #cricuteverywhere #cricutcrafting #designspace #cricutcrafts #cricutproject #cricutcreations #cricutmachine #diy #create #screenprinting #screenprinttutorial #vinylcraft #htvvinyl #speedball #screenprinted #vinylcrafts #craftsblogger #silhouettecameo #easypress2 #cricuteasy #htv #pigskinsandpigtails
Instagram post 2221238025451261219_1949531602 I volunteered to make warmup shirts for my daughter's basketball team. I picked out Champion Performance long sleeve shirts in their team color and got to work! Little did I know this would be a challenging screen print project. ๐Ÿ€ #sponsoredโ  โ  I'm hoping that my trial and error will help you, so you can successfully screen print on 100% polyester, dri-fit type shirts. โ  โ  Good news! It is possible to screen print on polyester... at home... without a 4 color press, different inks or more supplies. Here are the tricks that worked for me:โ  โ  ๐ŸŒŸ If you are using white, yellow or light color inks, you will want to use a press for this. I used my 1-color press to print, dry with a heat gun, and print again. This helped me get a more solid yellow. If you don't have a press, donโ€™t attempt a light color ink on a dark shirt. Pick a dark ink and light shirt and you shouldnโ€™t have this issue! โ  โ  ๐ŸŒŸ At first your shirts look great, but when you heat set the ink, the black shirt starts to show through the ink. This is called dye migration and it's a common issue with polyester shirts. I was able to avoid this by changing my Easy Press 2 temperature to 305. So far, the ink is still holding up great in the wash even at the lower temperature. โ  โ  ๐ŸŒŸ Make sure you have extra shirts on hand! Projects like this one remind me that there is still an art to learning screen printing. It's nice to have extras on hand so you can try again when it doesn't work the first time!โ  โ  ๐Ÿ’ก Got questions about screen printing on polyester?
