Interesting, I haven't come across that problem before. Sounds like a pressure and temperature problem. You can also try and pre press the shirt for a few seconds, then let it cool down a bit again before laying down your opaque transfer. Last resort maybe, is to use a a carrier tape, but it will be an added cost for you.

Smile Re: opaque transfer bubbles
Hi Byron, thanks for the reply. I pressed some over again and they were OK.Maybe the time was not long enough.
It was very humid at the time. I've been doing shirts with Ironall and they are turning out good. I'll try the opaque again soon.
So glad I found this forum! You are all great ! thanks.Alice
