@sinituulia@eldritch.cafe Another one is do not put printed tshirts (especially ones from custom print places like RedBubble) in a clothes dryer even if the label says you can. The actual shirt will be fine, the printing may not be after a few rounds.

@joannaholman@aus.social Absolutely so, yes! The printing medium is a sort of melted on film which softens in high temperatures and sort of goops off the fibres it is attached to. If the film is very thick it will just crack and wear down in a fairly interesting way, but the thinner films (like on Redbubble) will just flake off.
If you want them to last, wash mild to moderate heat with a delicate spin cycle.
