Slight washout issue

Scot one other thing to remember is: when flashing you do not want to CURE the ink on the bottom layer. If you do the ink will lay down on top of the base but will not bind with it and cure together. When you run a shirt throught the wash after this happens, the bottom layer will adhere to the shirt but the top layer will wash right off. Looking at your pictures, it looks like that may have been the problem. perhaps your flash wasn't evenly heated, perhaps it wasn't level to the shirt platen.
One good thing to practice when flashing is the finger test (flash the image in short bursts, just untill ink stops coming up on your finger). To check if your flash is getting good coverage or heating evenly, check the whole image left/right, top/bottom, center. everywhere to make sure it is drying evenly. Ink cures instantly once it reaches certain temperature. Flash cures are designed to "gel" the surface of the ink on the substrate so as not to transfer ink on to subsequent stencils, but still allow layers to adhere to one another.

one other thing.. the laser temp guns do NOT measure surface temperature.. only the are around. so if you are checking the temp of the ink on your shirt with the gun you probably not getting a VERY accurate temp..good luck!
