Default background issue on paper using laser sub

Hey People,
Im using konica minolta 2530dl laser sublimation.Everything prints great and presses great except there is some backgrounding on the paper.They are tiny little faded yellowish color dots on the paper.You can really notice them on shirts and mugs where there is no deign toner.I did some vapor apparel shirts the other day,my first time doing shirts,and they came out awesome til i noticed a sort of faded yellow box around design where transfer paper was.At first i figured i scorched the shirt but i was using very light pressure at 385 for 50 secs.Looking real close i could see it was the liitle yellowish dots from the paper.Now i contact the vendor and he tells me these dots are konica minotla's security against printing counterfeit money and that every laser printer does this.This could be true ,i dont know.Does anybody have any ideas on this or how to get rid of it because even if i cut out design,which with dyesub i shoudnt need to,there are dots inside design where there is white.w ould greatly appreciate any help

Thanks
Oneeyedjack

I have never heard of the 'security dots". I have never experienced this with sublimation or with non dye sub laser images

I have heard this before, but not sure if it is correct or not.

What type of graphic are you printing...vector or bitmap? Occassionally, I receive bitmap graphics that appear to have a white back ground. Then after printing, I find that the back ground is not RGB white, but may have just a touch of color. You can also get this result if you are using CMYK white.
