1. use Method 2 when testing with solvent Method 2 Use for Thick Ink Film 1 Apply two or three drops of solvent to the fabric on the inside of the T shirt behind a printed area 2 Fold the shirt so that you can press the ink layer that has been treated with the solvent against an unprinted area of the shirt 3 Firmly press the two layers of fabric together with a small C clamp or similar clamping device for two minutes If any ink transfers from the printed to the unprinted area the ink film may not be completely cured Transfer Release Test It is important to conduct accelerated age tests in your plant which will indicate how a transfer will release from the transfer paper after sx months to one year on the shelf Accelerated aging tests can be performed by placing the printed transfer in a hot box or hot room at 100 hours at a temperature of 120 F This will simulate one year of shelf life Tests conducted in your plant will help keep your transfer garment reject risk to a minimum Bleed Test When Printing Polyester containing Substrates Since dye lot variation is very common it is imperative to test a gar ment s propensity for dye migration Historically fabrics containing polyester are more likely to bleed than any other fabrics whereas nylon and cotton much less likely to bleed However it is suggested that all dark fabrics that will be printed with white or light colored inks should be evaluated for bleeding2.

4. The bleeding phenomena occurs due to a reaction between the ink and the dyes of the fabric The following is a test method evaluating the bleed potential of ink printed on a given fabric 1 Bleed resistance or the resistance of an ink to accept the dyes from polyester fabric is determined by the chemistry of the ink com plete ink cure and by the ink deposit Choose the screen mesh that duplicates the planned use of the white ink as well as two other possi ble combinations 2 Print just the white ink on appropriate fabric swatches and hold for three weeks After three weeks visually evaluate the prints for white ness You may choose to try accelerating this evaluation by holding the prints at 105 F 40 C for 2 to 5 days Fabric Discoloration Test When Printing Cotton Substrates For direct print and transfer inks it is extremely important to pre test on dyed or stone washed garments Avoid stacking hot because such fabrics are more prone to color distortion due to the dye stuffs inherent in the garment Fabric and dye characteristics can exhibit variance between manufacturers and from dye lot to lot The following test will determine if the fabric dyestuffs are prone to discolor 1 Print ink onto suspect fabric and fuse 2 Cover the print area with a piece of the suspect fabric sandwich ing the print and set in a heat press 3 Set the heat press to 200 F and 5 PSI 4 Close the transfer press and let sit for four hours
