Default design bleeds on shirt

i am a newbie at trying to create a transfer, I bought the transfer paper from airwaves and printed it on my epson printer. It looked great, a week later washed it in cold water and the ink ran all over the shirt not to mention all over my other clothes..what am I doing wrong??

Default Re: design bleeds on shirt

Could be a couple of things:

1. Ink. If you are using a dye based ink, it will run, Epson water test with pigment and dye inks, the best inks for Epson are the Durabrite kind. But Epson makes specific inks for specific printers.

2. The paper. Not familiar with the one you are using, but that could be a problem as well.
