I think all inkjet transfers will require that if you want to minimize the transfer residue showing on the shirt.

A line on your designs sounds like an ink head cleaning problem, but I'm no expert Hopefully one will see this and offer more help.

Rodney, don't count yourself short. That is exactly what the problem is. here are few quick solutions. 1. Clean heads with software (Clean heads). You have binding lines caused bu not enough of one color going through heads. 2. make a print using highest quality printing. Forces more ink into heads.3. As far as paper is concerned you will get a lot of answers to that question. I use Iron All and Blue grid..
