Printing on a t-shirt with a LEF 200
Printing on a t-shirt with a LEF 200
I did a test print on a t-shirt with my LEF 200. The result is great. Even after several washes in a laundry machine at 60C, the colours are still great. I could have printed it a bit lighter.

Re: Printing on a t-shirt with a LEF 200
We have a few people printing on clothing with the LEF series, the main issue is due to the ink sitting on the surface rather then being absorbed by the material, this causes the whole print to be removed when washing instead of the standard fading.
Re: Printing on a t-shirt with a LEF 200
That probably depends on the material of the clothing. The t-shirt I printed on is made of cotton. That sticks perfectly, even after several hot washes.

Good to hear, have you tried adding gloss effects to the print?

No, just CMYK.

Interesting, I would just make sure ALL the ink is cured before putting it near any skin!
