I do not use the transfer paper but you can try the technique I use for pressing on heavy knit fabric material.

1) Lower the upper platten but do not lock it. Just enough to hold down the shirt.

2) Stretch the shirt (entire length of printed area) on its sides
3) Lock down the upper platten and press for 2 to 3 seconds to keep the shirt stretched, remove wrinkle and moisture
4) Open the upper platten
5) Locate and position the transfer then press as you would normally do.
6) Post stretch the shirt after peeling the transfer
7) Cover the shirt with Teflon or parchment paper and press again for 5 seconds
8) Peel hot

What pre-stretching does is expose the material between ribs to improve transfer
