Root Causes & Preproduction Solutions for SeeThrough & CrackPrint Socks

##Introduction Print decorated socks are popular fashion items for wholesale markets. Two most frequent quality complaints are print see through (ink leaking to the other sock side) and print cracking after washing or stretching. We explain core causes and preventive craft adjustments before mass production.

##Root Causes

1.See through print Too thin base sock fabric Over wet printing ink with high penetration Excessive ink dosage during printing process

2.Print cracking Poor elasticity of ink material, cannot stretch together with sock fabric High temperature drying damage to print layer Stretching test missing before bulk goods launch

##Pre production Preventive Solutions

1.Choose suitable base fabric thickness for printed socks

2.Adjust ink formula, select stretchable textile ink

3.Control ink coating thickness, avoid over printing

4.Carry out stretch and wash sample test before mass production
