Light travels through the ink and reflects back off the T-shirt. If you were to take the same yellow text and print directly on a green sheet of paper, you would get the same results as your T-shirt.

Your ink would need to be opaque to keep the shirt color from affecting the finished color of your product. Black ink is more opaque than yellow. Thus you can put black on the green and it will look black. Yellow will visually mix with the green to make ... 'not yellow'
