Shirt Not Sticking! Help
Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2008 1:59 pm
Hi All
Need some expert advice from you screenprinting guru's. I took my first run of shirts in to my screenprinter to be printed of course. We ran into the problem that the black Alternative Apparel basic cotton T's are not sticking to the spray adhesive on the the platen while printing, shifting after a couple colors are pronted and messing up the design.
The printer tried using 4 different types of adhesive but the black shirts dont seem to grip. My printer has said that in the 15 years they have been in business they have not run into a problem like this. Printing is halted until we have resolved the problem as 12 out of 20 shirts have slipped during the print and I cant afford a 40% fail rate on the Tshirts, not a millionaire yet
I called Alternative Apparel, and they said that they have never heard of this issue as well and are goign to look into it. IF you can offer any advice on what I can recommend to the printer to resolve this, or if you have run into this problem, what you did to get around it??
I appreciate all your feedback and thank you in advance.
Sincerely
Jason - Original Sin Apparel
