I am printing on black t-shirts (50/50). I am using Jetwear for darks. I pressed a couple of shirts and it looks like the t-shirt is bleeding through the transfer, is this possible? all white areas look a faint gray and image looks like shirt is bleeding through, confused?

Mark: Sounds like the transfer may be getting too hot. Try cutting down the time and/or temp and see if that helps.

thanks for all your help. found the problem. the directions they gave was to press for 20 sec at 375 with high pressure. spoke with lou and he suggested to press for 6 seconds. I finally got the right temp and pressing time. found that 360 for 6 seconds with medium pressure worked like a charm. also I am using my canon IPF6100 printer with pigments inks. beautiful prints with very and I mean very little color shifting. the great part about this printer is that if they ever come out with roll transfer paper I would save alot of money.

thanks again for all your help
