Well, the plot thickens for my professionally printed shirt.
I had a white T-shirt done at the mall yesterday. Brought it home and washed it in cold water and vinegar like the man said. Then I decided (stupid, stupid) to air dry it. I got up this morning and the lettering on the back was all blurry! That royal blue ink ran everywhere, and in some places bled through to the front of the shirt. GRRR!
I washed it again in cold water and Tide and put it in the dryer on low and it looks better than it did, but the letters on the back still have some blurring around the edges. I will be returning to the shop and having a little chat with the guy this morning. I need 5 shirts total, and if he wants to keep me as a customer he will cut me a deal on a replacement for the blurry one. I want the lettering on all 5 shirts to be clear, not 4 clear and 1 blurry!
Next time I will wash the shirts in vinegar, DRY them, then rewash in Tide and dry them again. This process really shouldn't be so complicated!
