Default My shirt design has a greenish to it after I heat press it, please help.
I pencil sketched a portrait and printed it on transfer paper, when I heat pressed the image onto a shirt it colorized my image with a greenish tint. Is this common? Can someone please help me correct this? I thought I saw a forum on this a while back but cant find it.

What type of transfer paper & ink are you using? Sounds to me like a color shift. Search with that term. Mike

If you are using Durabrite or OEM ink the ink will shift due heat. You need to use thrid party pigmented ink.
