I did some pastisol transfers on some stone shirts the otherday Absolute and FOTL, i pressed them as i do the other colours i was doing red & black, i press them double, ie i dont spread the back out over the platen only.
plastisol no pre press, then just 8 secs
now i have a faded patch on the otherside of the shirt, where the transfer would have been - if that makes sense, not on the inside, but the otherside as i pressed it double thickness, never had this on any other colour, looks like its faded but pulled the other colour through. i use a teflon sheet.
I am wondering, if when the moisture comes up, as there is no pre-press with plastisol, its kind of bleached out the colour for somereason - bizzarre and expensive, as i can only sell them as seconds.
