Why does the ink look faded/dull after washing?Updated 2 years ago

It may be happening due to a few reasons:

  • The most common issue is the shirt fibers are coming loose during wash and are poking through the print, which is normal with thinner ink deposits. To correctly make this determination, look very closely at the print and look for shirt fibers. You can also use a magnifying glass, loop, or your phone to zoom in on the print area.
  • The other possibility is that the ink is undercured and has started to fall off the garment.
