How should I care for this graphic shirt?

Machine wash cold inside out with like colors to protect the print quality. Tumble dry low or hang to dry to maintain the shape of the heather grey fabric. Do not iron directly on the printed design, as heat can damage the artwork and reduce its vibrancy over time.
