Wash a printed tee so the ink stays

Turn the shirt inside out before it goes in the machine. That keeps zippers and towels from dragging across the ink. Wash cold, with the rest of your cotton, and skip bleach.

Hang it if you can. A low dryer is fine for the fleece. High heat is what cracks a print over a year of washes, more than the detergent does.

Do not iron the graphic directly. If you need to press the body of the shirt, iron inside out on a medium cotton setting.

A little fade is normal. The cotton and the ink are supposed to wear together. Peeling, flaking, or a print that lifts at the corner in the first few washes is a defect, and the returns page covers that.
