I recently bought a batch of orange grid jet opaque for darks and i have trouble keeping the image on. I have the right amount of pressure and heat, my heat press works fine and it's new. What can be the problem?!?!?

When you say the image not keeping is it the color or is the opaque itself not staying on the shirt?

Are you using parchment or teflon sheet to cover the opaque during pressing? Sometimes color will stick to teflon. It is not suppose to but it does. If you are using parchment paper it will lift some of the color with it if it is peeled hot. It works better cold peel.

How hot is your press and how long are you pressing?

What is the fabric content of the shirt you are pressing onto? Sometimes, using a different shirt, or even a different paper, will give better results.
