Hey DIY,

You know how the (silk-screened?) ink on cheap t-shirts cracks in the drier? How can I prevent this? I was thinking scotch-guard or a mild spray-on adhesive of some sort but I'm not sure if those would hurt the shirt.

I've fond instructions on how to do this during the silk screening process but nothing for afterward. Do I just have to carefully air-dry forever?

I don't have a way to prevent it but I have a not so good way of covering it up. I remember using a black sharpie on black screened clothes. It wasn't noticeable unless you really looked at it

Turn them inside-out when you dry them. Kinda helps.

just dry it at air, the drier tend to fuck up plastic things

and this, avoid direct contact with the heat

Turn your shirts inside out when washing them, then dry them either on low heat or on a drying rack.

set your dryer to low heat, or air dry them on a clothesline

Line-dry them only.
