*Our printing provider is Printful. Some designs are DTF (direct to film) and heat pressed. Some are DTG (direct to garment) printed, depending on the design. Printful guarantees that the prints can last 50 washes but can crack before that.
From my experience:
DO NOT WASH IN HOT WATER.
Heat set DTG prints before wearing with parchment paper over the design and an iron on highest setting & slow movements. (no parchment paper can ruin/melt the design Printful & I will not refund if this happens.) Or Parchment paper and a heat press on 300* for 30 seconds. My suggestions are from my experiments and knowledge of failures over the years. I heat set my designs with my heat press when I get the shipment & they last longer.0
I wish the designs could be screen printed to last the best, I do not have a shop to do so. I’ve tried sublimating myself and failed. I am just one person with many dreams. With each purchase I am able to pay my bills and art some more and for that I’m grateful.
Printful Care Guide
Printed apparel (direct-to-garment)
We use the latest direct-to-garment (DTG) printing technology to offer a wide variety of printable garments and design color options. We use high-quality inks that won’t fade for a long time if taken care of properly.
Keep in mind that the original manufacturer’s care instructions don’t take into consideration the DTG printing process. So we suggest following the care instructions on this page to learn how to take care of your printed garments properly.
Printed apparel can be machine-washed cold, inside-out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary. You shouldn’t use any fabric softeners or dry-clean the items.
DTG-printed apparel can be tumble-dried on a low cycle, but hang-dry works best. When it comes to ironing, use cool iron inside-out. Don’t iron the print.
Follow these instructions carefully to avoid fading and cracking of the print, and shrinking the garment that can occur if you wash or dry it on a high setting.
