7: Dark Garment Washing
A properly printed dark garment can last dozens washes without noticeable fading if washed properly.
Remember that the most important process for a long lasting dark garment print is heat treatment. If
there are repeated problems with the durability of dark garment prints, review your heat-treating
process. We suggest that our customers include the following washing instructions for the garments
printed with white ink.
Washing Instructions for Longer Lasting Prints:
a. Turn the shirt inside out.
b. Wash in cold water.
c. Dry on delicate cycle.
