Default Re: What is regarded as a 'light' colour?

The true test of whether you can use light transfer paper and still keep accurate colors is really based off of your graphic. Look at your graphic and find the lightest color. This color must be the same color of the shirt or darker in order to keep accurate colors. Otherwise if the color of the shirt is darker, it will alter the colors in your design that are lighter.

The best example I can tell you was one of my first orders. Lady wanted a picture of her daughter on a pink shirt. The daughter was a blonde, caucasin girl. I printed it on light transfer paper and the little girl looked like she had a bad sunburn and strawberry colored hair.

As mentioned above, I think you always need to trim your design when ever possible. It just gives the shirt a better hand or feel. Hope this clears some things up.
