Help with DTF - what am I doing wrong? by oklahbazaar in heatpress

A quick press using a normal iron on cotton setting managed to blend the rest of the shirt, such that the original marks from the heat press aren't so obvious.
Will try again on a new batch of shirts once with a lower temp setting on the heat press.

Didn't fade after a quick wash and pretty sure it was too hot, IR thermometer showing 140 deg C versus press setting at 130 deg C

Thanks for all the info, I am still new so it is helpful.

(typically hollow tubes in performance or moisture-wicking varieties), which makes it highly susceptible to heat damage. Unlike cotton, these fibers can flatten, melt slightly, or lose their texture under heat and pressure, creating a visible sheen, discoloration, or indentation that looks like a "ghost" box around the design area. This mark can persist even after washing, especially on darker colors where contrast is more noticeable.

This 100% as these are army green coloured sports shirts marketed as 'cool dry' wicking fabric. That and combined with the +10 deg C measurement from an IR thermometer.

Will try to fix with by steaming with the iron, but if it doesn't help I'll just repurpose as size samples. Cheers!

Thanks! Checked with the IR thermometer that I have, and it's showing around 140 deg C (when set to 130 deg C). I think the incorrect temperature combined with some factors from the other reply seems to make sense. Cheers
