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!
