| Re: is it dark or light ? From experience, we use the light transfer paper for black text only on light pink, ash, orange, carolina blue, azalea, natural, daisy, gold, sport grey, ice grey, and sand colored shirts. I couldn't tell you why colors don't show up that well on anything but white and ash. It's frustrating. We're still looking for a good way to get a light text on a dark shirt as well. If it's a text only shirt with not to many letters, we use our Stahl's precut vinyl letters http://www.stahls.com/stahls/ooe_nav...ubMenuIds=1,14 This can be a difficult route also because it's hard to line up a lot of these individual letters. We're planning on buying a vinyl cutter to solve this problem but until then, we print out our light colored text on the dark transfer paper and print the background the same color as the shirt. Then we cut around the letters in a bubbly manner leaving each word together. You can also make a circle on the design around the text and cut out the whole text as one, but it ends up looking like a large patch on the shirt. Ryan
