Burning shirts!

[tonyt79]

I print for a sports organization that brings in their own shirts. Always trying to not bring the minimal amount of stuff, so they stopped and got more shirts. When I was going through the boxes I see shirts on hangers. They end up being Hanes x-temp shirts, I am guessing came from Walmart. I printed them like I do any other 60/40 shirt but they all burned along the edge of pallets.

I have never really seen any other shirts do that besides when let flash for to long. Is this common for these shirts and is it possible to get it out somehow. I should have refused to print them in the first place!

if it's a deep burn, no.  You can always try hydrogen peroxide and run it through the oven a couple times

Most scorching will happen where the shirt is not adhered to the platen by adhesive, where it is glued down the heat is wicked away by the platen, where it's not glued down the shirt absorbs all the heat.

Ultimately, you need lower flash times/temps, but more glue coverage would help too, but it makes loading a bit of a pain.
