Under-curing occurs when the adhesive powder melts but fails to flow fully into the ink, resulting in a brittle, crystalline texture that peels easily after washing.

A trained operator working in a dedicated, ergonomic space can typically press and package 30–50 garments per hour, which is often comparable to or faster than the standard fulfillment speeds provided by many POD services.

The transition requires shifting to manufacturing-style economics by managing your own production. This involves building direct relationships with wholesale blank apparel suppliers for better pricing, partnering with a wholesale DTF supplier for consistent quality transfers, and setting up an efficient, dedicated space for pressing and packaging orders.
