Dunno what i'm doing wrong, some transfers (3d jet opaque) are still fading almost 50% after 1st wash, I usually press these 3 times (cooled after each press)

suspect it is down to your ink...... are you using original pigment inks? - if not, you are expecting too much i think

Not completely true SOME pigment inks are longer lasting then OEM for this purpose epson inks for example are not designed for garments, I have a high pigment ink which is

Hi logo

These are pigment inks im using on an Epson, thought it may have been down to pressure also, using med to heavy.

Update on this thread, just bought an epson 3620 wf and the difference is night and day with regards to fade ( I did have a dye ink printer which was epson xp 720) printed a shirt with jet pro soft strecth at 2 different temps on the WF 3620, one at 350f and another at the recommended 375, both for 30 seconds, both prints are as the original print (which are still on the paper)

I marked both prints with pen and at what temps (350f & 375f) I pressed them and and they have come out exactly the same as the prints.

I can post pics if needed
