Re: Temp or time?

Post by scotty44 »

Ok guys just a quick one before i do some testing tonight....
I printed off a picture to put on a poly t shirt, the picture is a cartoon style face...flesh colour...now when i pressed it it looks like hes been under a sunbed for a day haha...the skin colour has come out a shade of brown!
Would this be because or temp or time?
The print looked fine, and not had this problem on mugs or slates!

Presuming you are using quality inks and a proper icc profile then it could be both.

Not knowing what time and temps you are using or the set up means it is very difficult to give any guidance. So I would suggest reducing temp before time as a general rule.

Cheers guys....60 seconds at 200c.....
colours are fine on everything else, only done a handfull of tees and all dark colours which are fine!
The print looked spot on so guessing the temp was to high and i cooked him :biggrin:
