DOES THE LOGO STICK TO MY FABRIC?
A fair question. Especially if it’s your first heat transfer project – or if you’re working with a technical or coated fabric – one question usually comes up quickly: Will the logo hold up after washing – or will it start to peel? Let’s start with the good news: If you’re printing on t-shirts, jerseys, hoodies or training wear, you don’t need to worry.
