Fabric Printing Ink— Some Common Printing Mistakes

Oscar Wilde rightly said- “Experience is just the name we give our mistakes.” Even in businesses, we can learn from our mistakes. Mistakes made while using fabric printing ink can be avoided and get impressive results with your printed end-products.

Some Common Types of Print Mistakes

#Mistake 1- The Lack of Clear Contours

The design's edges should be clean, neat, and sharp. Because there is no thickened centre in the middle, the incinerator must be adjusted, the fabric surface must be set properly, or it should be removed.

Washing, dust cleaning, vacuum extraction of dusts, consistency adjustments of the proper heat transfer ink, and press tuning can all be done before printing.



#Mistake 2-The Pattern Gets Shifted, But It Doesn't Fit

It's a case where a pattern must not be done in spots like a pattern roller or a stencil since it will mess up the proportion settings.

The most common causes are improper pattern adjustments, faulty reproductions, inappropriate pattern repeat settings, and wrong exposure.

#Mistake 3- Using Wrong Base/Fabric

Screen printing uses heat to dry the heat transfer ink. Make sure to use the fabric or material that can withstand the recommended heat temperatures needed to cure the print or paint. If using inappropriate fabric, it can get scorched or burnt with lower heat-resistant properties. That’s why, whether you are using footwear ink for footwear or silicone ink, make sure you are using the right fabric or base. Avoid these mistakes and enjoy printing!
