discoloration on shirt I pressed a colored shirt for the first time the other day (green) using Alpha Green paper at
360 deg
20 seconds
I pressed the shirt for about three seconds prior to putting the transfer on.
I noticed after the initial 2-3 sec the shirt showed signs of discoloration.
Is this normal? How do I prevent it.
It also did it with a light grayish blue shirt.

Re: discoloration on shirt Not to worry...this is common. The shirt will "normalize" quickly (usually within 30 minutes).
