pressure marks

[ericheartsu]

We have some tees that we printed on youth pallets, due to some of the shirts being youth tees. But of course that gave pressure marks to some of the adult tees.

What can we do to remove those marks, once they have been through the dryer?

Sometimes a light misting with water and another trip down the belt does it.

magic sizing...it's $.99 a can at walmart.  You can mist after they have been sitting or right out of the oven.

Also removes hoop burn

never knew about this one

you can also steam them out with an industrial steamer
misting before sending down the dryer is essentially the same thing but sometimes doesn't work 100% and you may have to run back twice.

I am totally picking up can of that tomorrow. Pressure marks drive us insane, esp on the ringspun stuff.  Hate spraying with water. Thanks for the tip.

Can’t say I’ve ever had a customer complain about pressure marks. They wash out, but I suppose it makes a lot of sense for like events and stuff that people may not wash first. Has anyone had people upset over em before?

Oh hell yeah, we have lost clients over pressure marks before LOL

pressure marks for us are like pin holes on the shirts, we do not let them leave here with pressure marks

One of the problems with pressure marks, is they are evidence that the shirts were either printed on a press or heat sealed rather than the magic pulling out of our butts that so many clients seem to assume!

Right there with ya Andy

Danyn how do you prevent or remove them?

[Frog]

Isn't the most sure-fire way to avoid the pressure marks to avoid the pressure and run squeegees that are shorter than the width of the board?
Not always a viable option, I know. 

Next up, rounding the edges of the board?

[mk162]

I think the best route is running a narrower squeegee or less pressure.  if that's a problem you can spray them with magic sizing from a can.  That stuff works wonders.

I picked up a can of that magic sizing to see how $0.96 plus tax works on crappy cheapo trucker hats. I have to say "holy crap!"

Does anyone know if this magic sizing would work with dye sub transfers on 100% poly shirts?
