Bad Info Terry: Ever hear someone say if you repeat something enough times, people will start to believe it’s true? It’s the same with garment/product decorating and information on the internet. Jay, what we really find on the internet is, “I couldn’t get this to work, so here’s my Bandaid.”Screen PrintingAll you need are 110 mesh screensFlash between colors for best resultsPinholes? Just put more emulsion on it!There is a perfect white ink. You just have to find it!DTGSave money, use Teflon sheetsOur machine will fix your 72dpi files and print perfectlyYou can’t make money with DTG… ink is too high and production is too slowSublimation (per Aaron)Terry: Dipping mugs after pressing. Even in lukewarm water you are creating micro cracks in the ceramic. This was an old band aid for old coating that was not as good as the current dishwasher safe coatings where the ink is not going to ghost as readily. Just remove the transfer, put the mug on a cooling rack, cooling stone, or on concrete to remove the heat from it at a natural level and you will be fine. If anyone is suggesting it, I would be leery of their mugs and the quality of coating.Jay: 400 degrees for 60 seconds - This time and temperature has been used as the correct setting for all sorts of items. It is another bandaid for poor testing and was just a catch all to make sure that the full transfer happened. Most items have a much lower time and temperature. 400 for 60 seconds will cause blacks to look brown, and haloing around the edges of prints. It can even cause the orange peel look on thin aluminum and other hard surface coated items.Embroidery (per Erich)Terry: Embroidery pricing begins and ends with $1 per thousand stitches.
