Lost count of the not mirroring Bigj2552 lol

But found a nice setting that pretty much works pressure wise , Now sticking to Hot Peel Flex also, Had some bad run ins this week with cold peel either starts to come off if still too warm to not wanting to come off at all if goes too cold (hate it) plus the added hassle of having to keep removing garments rom press which is a pain on 3 / 4 layer prints :(

But just done my first official order of 100 Tshirts dunno if i made good time but each design was 180mm x 160mm consisting of 4 layers cutting and pressing all done complete in 4 1/2 hours. :)

Ill post a pic of one tomorrow once uploaded :)

Thanks for the advice guys

Well congratulations on that order and the time it took to do - it does sound impressive!

As it is the 35th Anniversary of the death of Elvis I decided to play with a bit of embroidery.

Yer they were small chest logo's nothing too complicated eache Tshirt went on the press max 3 times me and the wife had a very nice routine going , pressing cooling peeling etc ..
The wife said i was out on my time was closer to 5 to 6 hours lol .. to be honest it possibly was but i was really pleased with the out come.

Heres the final design on a Tshirt we did. Again they are simple but constructive input and advice always greatfully recieved ..
[ATTACH=CONFIG]1132[/ATTACH] Just a basic design 2 colors , the 4 layers were because of the way the design needed to appear over lapped and so on. Im sure there was a quicker way to cut the flex to do in 2 presses but its done now :)
