James,
I agree with Jon, try the Durabrite inks from Epson, I would say i'm 99% correct that its the dye based ink your using....they run and fade terribly in the wash. Also I'm not a great lover of the dark transfer paper, I have never found one that will last more than about 15 - 20 washes before it starts to crack, if you wash them in cold water and only hang dry they may well last longer, but a normal wash and tumble dry will kill them in no time. I would personally look at geting some plastisol transfers made from your designs if your going to sell them commercially. Hope this helps.

BTW Lynne, try: The Transfer Press . They have the Vapor apparel range which includes light blue!
