To understand why some printed design fade we need to take a step back and understand how the printing process works and the different kind of printing methods NFL Jam San Francisco 49ers Steve Young and Jerry Rice T-Shirt . The most common printing method which almost all professional t shirt printing companies use is screen printing or silk screen. Now the most common form of printing ink being used in the industry are classic plastisol ink from brands such as UNION INK, Rutland or Amex. Now plastisol ink is made from rubber and for the ink to set it requires a certain temperature to cure and solidify to the t shirt fabric. In most cases printing companies use large tunnel dryers which heat the wet ink as it comes off the machine and cures the ink. This is by far the most important step of the finished printed t shirt product. If the curing process is not done right then your stylish printed tee which you brought from the store will fade away after the first wash since the ink has not solidified onto the t shirt. Typically most plastisol inks must reach a temperature of 320 degrees to fully cure. The main reason why the ink do not cure property is primarily the dryer is not working properly, temperature of the electric or gas dryer is not set correctly or to thin the plastisol ink to much (non curable) reducer is added.So how to know if a t shirt which I brought from the store will not fade?Now here is a trade trick which we will share with you. If you buy any printed garment and you stretch the design and if the design rips then you should know that the design has not cured properly and will wash or fade over time.If the design is cured properly and has solidified on to the garment then the print will not rip and your tee will last many washes.

Great quality, but order a size up.
After an inspection of the clothing they appear to be made quite well. There were no openings in the seems, no loose/unraveling threads, no tears, or stains.
Unfortunately, even with measuring myself before ordering, they did not fit. I ordered medium, in accordance to their sizing chart, but it felt much too tight. Almost like it was trying to be a muscle shirt. So, order a size bigger and you should be good there.
Finally, I learned I don’t like “heavy cotton.” A lot of other reviewers said the fabric was soft. To me it was indeed heavy, too heavy, and was more roughly-textured that I expected. Not what I call soft.
I liked the quality of the construction though, and these issues ultimately shouldn’t count against the product itself. Size chart just needs some adjustment, and the fabric issues are just my own preferences.

Good quality shirts
Ordered two colors red and white. I wear medium size t-shirts, and sometimes small for tight fit. Medium size for this shirt was very big for me. So order one size lower. Kept the white one and returned the red one.
I am planning to use it once after printing over those, so nit worrying about wash etc.
