Default Am I burning my shirts??

Lately I noticed a very faint light brown "stain" on the 100% white cotton t-shirts I've been putting plastisol transfers on at 360-degress for 10 seconds. The "stain" only appears on the area that has been in the press. It's very faint, but you can see it where it meets the un-pressed part of the shirt.
I'm also pre-pressing for like 10 seconds too.


Am I burning the shirts?
