Default White ink turns yellow on pigment dyed shirts

My problem is printing certain colours (especially white) on pigment dyed garments. The ink is 'migrating' with the shirt dye and changing colours. The white turns yellow. Performing many test with dryer, but I think an ink issue. Any advice?

Are you printing flash printing the white ink?

May need to switch and use a Poly White yet will still need to print flash print.

If this does not stop the migrating dye you may need to print a clear underbase yet you should be able to stop with the print flash print method.

It sounds like sublimation issue's try speeding your belt speed up or lowering you temp.A non bleed white will also help.
