Definitely an option for natural fabrics. Natural fabrics as you alluded to don't tend to scorch as easily, it's the moisture evaporation that gives it the scorched look. Synthetic fabrics however actually scorch if too much heat and pressure is applied - and a steamer won't fix that unfortunately. Though regardless of whether that material is natural or synthetic, if you are applying way too much pressure you are compressing the fibres to a point where they may not return for some time which isn't ideal if you've got to get the job to your customer within a few days.
Thank you, Ben! That analogy was helpful too! 📦📦📦
cant you just hit the area which has been pressed with a steamer to bring the moisture back inot the fabric and get rid of the press shadow?
