This dye adversely reacts to certain
bleed-resistant ingredients contained in most of the
popular bleed-resistant lines of inks.

The Ink – It must be an ink that contains a non-
peroxide, bleed-resistant agent.
Certain things cannot be controlled by the printer:
• The dye in the shirt
• The humidity in the air and shirt
Things that can be controlled are:
• The type of ink – cotton white for cotton,
non-ghosting bleed resistant for polyester
• The amount of heat used on the garment—cure at
the recommended temp, not over
• Stack in separate piles to allow cooling—fold in
dozens separately, wait to pack
Be aware of at-risk colors; brown, tan and beige are
the most sensitive to possible ghosting.
