Printing onto v-necks, scoops, and other ladies cut shirts is becoming more and more popular. The days of everyone getting a unisex fit shirt are long gone. Oftentimes, women want slimmer-fitting shirts.
When printing v-necks, and other lower-cut ladies or junior shirts, it is important not to print the design too low on the garment. Instead of printing the design the normal three to four inches below the collar, you will want to print one to two inches below the collar. The neckline on a “V” falls much lower on the shirt than a typical crew collar t-shirt, and that is why we print the design higher. If you were to print the design three to four inches below the base of the V, then the design would be on the midriff rather than the chest.
Printing a v-neck shirt should be done the same way as a crew shirt, other than starting the print higher near the collar. Simply load the garment and press it for three to five seconds to remove any wrinkles or moisture within the shirt. Then, align the transfer one inch below the collar and press the garment at the normal opaque hot peel transfer settings, which is 375 degrees with medium-to-heavy pressure (7-8) for eight to ten seconds. Once the timer goes off, release the press and pull the transfer off of the shirt immediately in a smooth and continuous motion.
