Has anybody used IronAll on a pale yellow or pale blue shirt with success??

Does the light shirt color have any affect on the design colors??

Thanks!

The color of the shirt will show through your design because the inks are translucent.

So if you are using only black text, there shouldn't be any noticable difference.

But if you print a photo of people on a blue shirt, they could come out with a bluish skin tone.

So it's hard to say without knowing exactly what design you are planning on printing.

Here is one of the designs...the other design is a 4 color with the same colors as this design.

Looking at the design again....I noticed that the white (eyes, shoes, etc.) will probably be the shirt color???

Yes, all white will be the shirt color since the printer does not print white ink.

this might sound simplistic, but cheaper than wasting a shirt or transfer paper.

Try a regular print of your design on a piece of paper the same or similar color to the shirt you are planning to put it on. lots of places have atrobrights in stock or something similar so could get a fw of each to sample without wasting stock in fabric.

Thanks Jasonda....makes sense. I could probably ustilize another members idea of getting some similar color pieces of material to try it on to see exactly what affect there would be...

I haven't been here in a while, was at school learning to improve my design skills. Back to doing research all over again.

So what would be the best way to get a design like Treadheads to show the white on a light colored or colored shirt?
