ADA Sambar - Stoney Creek T-Shirt by Trevor Hawkins

Screen printed t-shirts have a print that can last for years, since the ink becomes a part of the garment, not just imprinted on them. However, it is recommended that you treat your screen printed garments with care to ensure the print quality.

• Always wash your garments inside-out with a mild detergent.
• For the first 2 washes, wash by hand in cold water
• Use low-temperature wash cycle program only
• If possible, avoid drying your screen printed t-shirts in a dryer, as this type of drying can damage the screen printing.  Instead, air dry the shirts to retain the imprinting.
• Iron your screen printed garments inside-out.  This helps maintain the structural integrity of the imprint.
• When washing light coloured garments, the imprint may fade a little. When washing garments at a high temperature, the possibility of imprint/garment fading increases.

Ironing Your Screen Printed Garments:

• Iron your screen printed garments inside-out.  This helps maintain the structural integrity of the imprint.
• To help extend the life of the garment, try ironing your garment between two pieces of cloth.
• It is not recommended to apply moisture or steam to your screen printed garment prior to ironing.

Dry Cleaning:

• Screen printed garments may be dry cleaned, however, please exercise extreme caution when dry cleaning.  Special care must be taken when dark shades are dry cleaned and avoid using pre-spotting agents.
