What is the mistake you need to fix? Once you transfedr to shirt and heat press not much you can do to correct a problem. Possibly someone else may have an idea.

I would also ask what kind of problem your trying to fix. When you place your transfer with your heat press there really is no fixing it if your meaning removing it from the shirt. They are pretty much there for the long haul once pressed. I just toss the ones I mess up into my scrap pile and use them for experiments or cleaning rags.

Thanks,, we do lots of big jobs and sometimes
we might make a spelling error, so we will either
cover it up or toss the garment. When using dark transfers we, re-heat and they peel off but
that won't work for light transfers,,,,

I just thought there might be somthing out there i was missing .... thanks,,,,

You are not going to find anything to remove light transfers from a shirt. I have removed from dark but that sits on the shirt where light transfers get impregnated into the shirt. Just toss and start over..

We had the problem of taking off approx 5k transfers from the back neck of white T's - bought a krebs spotting out vacuum table & gun - approx £1500 but did job fine - then reapplied new transfers.

A different problem I've fixed in the past is if there is a pinhole where the inkjet transfer didn't adhere transfer, leaving a little white spot... I use pigment ink fabric markers to fill in the tiny gap rather than start anew. Mirroring mistakes become rags or experiment fabric, for me, too.

Right on Kelly, man those pigment fabric markers are a lifesaver sometimes aren't they?
