DTF Transfers Ready to Press - How to Make a Transfer Last Longer

In the world of fashion, fresh designer tees are trendy; if they have fun images, they will instantly turn heads. However, that wow factor will not last forever, because in time, even the best designs will slowly lose some of their luster, and they will no longer catch everyone's eye. The good news is that it's possible to extend the lifespan of a graphic tee; all you have to do is follow a few easy steps.

While premade graphic tees have an immediate wow factor, they will often come with risks. For starters, there is no way to tell when these tees were manufactured. This matters because the age of a tee and the graphic design on it can greatly impact its quality and lifespan. If a graphic tee was recently printed, the design will look like new for multiple months, but if a graphic tee was manufactured ages ago, it won't be long before the design on it starts to chip, peel, or fade.

If you buy a tee, select a graphic, and put the design on the tee yourself, you'll be in total control, and your actions will play a major role when it comes to the tee's lifespan.

Following the directions that are included with your transfer sheets is the key to a long-lasting graphic design. In addition, it pays to have the proper equipment, patience, and a generous heat source that can produce a temperature of at least 190 degrees. An iron can produce fantastic results, but you should never set it up on an ironing board; you'll get better results on a solid surface, like a countertop.

If you wash a graphic tee incorrectly, the design will fade, chip, or peel in the washer. To wash a graphic tee correctly without ruining the design, just follow these steps:

• Turn the tee inside out.

• Select the fastest wash cycle.

• Use a mild detergent that does not contain bleach.

• Iron the shirt inside out after it dries
