I pressed my first t.shirt yestady supplied by bsm, it printed really well but for one thing which I must of pressed to hard and left a imprint of the press, apart from not applying that much press is there any thing else I can do. If that all there is how can I tell how much pressure to put on.

I always used to get press marks on clothing but I just found it part of the process. Once washed or ironed it comes out good as new. Now and then we used to just give a quick press in a few different positions (the shirt not me) which made it less obvious. I guess it's just like iron only part of the shirt which then shows up the rest. If it is any more complicated I'll let someone else give there ideas as I hate clothing and presses........ got some bad memories of vinyl.

That driving school gets everywhere these days

The press marks are part of the process but as Andrew says, pressing the rest of the t-shirt makes it look less obvious.

I gave up on subli shirts years ago because I hated the press marks around the image. That said, I pressed my first Vapor shirt recently and the lines were hardly visible, so much so that I plan on having another crack at it. Maybe it's because the shirts are thinner, I'm not sure yet. I used to use Xpres and NovaChrome shirts which were much thicker.

I agree about the Vapor shirts. I use them and Xpres shirts and prefer Vapor.

One tip is to just give the shirt a little sideways stretch when you finished pressing. It does help a bit to get rid of the mark.

Can you tell me who stocks the vapour t shirt range.

Transfer Press

Always use the vapour range now, although more expensive but look mor like a normal t shirt rather than the subli ones.

Unfortunately I don't sell a lot of them, thank goodness we sell a lot of cotton ones!

Is there any you can spray on a normat t.shirt that you can subdye on. If so is it worth while doing. Up to know I have only seen four colours to subdye on,

Never heard of anyone succesfully coating to dye-sub, more trouble than it's worth I think.

Obv. you need a light colour. You can get pastels and ringers (different sleeve/cuff colours) but there is a limit.
