The other day, I was discussing our transfer paper with a heavy user.
What follows is his story: one day he was rushing to get an order out. Short on time, he skipped the second pressing – the Teflon (c) overlay for 4 – 6 seconds overlay. The order looked fine and he was pleased to deliver as per his commitment.
A few weeks later, the customer made contact with him. The images of the shirts were washing out relative to previous orders. Our customer did a series of tests: 1. the shirts without a second press washed out much quicker than those with a second pressing. 2. He replaced the shirts and the customer has a smile. The second pressing made the difference – no washout issues.
The second pressing adds significant value to tshirt transfers.
A second benefit is: the cracking associated with transfers is often minimized (and sometimes eliminated with the second pressing).
So please do not rush and do a second – the Teflon (c) overlay pressing. The second pressing is of significance!
have an awesome day
