Default Re: transfer problem - transfer paper glue residue after transfer

Wola There is no White ink in an ink jet printer. Sublimation is for light colored Polyester garments only.

You need to do a search on opaque transfers if you want to print and heat press on darks.

Of course it doesn't show up. Dye sublimation ink isn't opaque, and there is no white - the ink always needs to be darker than the substrate. So on a white shirt you can print anything, on a yellow shirt anything mid to dark, on a red shirt black only, on a navy or black shirt... nothing.
