Hi, I've created many t-shirts & never encountered this problem. I had a big order of orange t-shirts for someone & when I heat pressed her design, the orange shirt bled through & turned her design orange. The shirts are made of 100% cotton & I have never changed any settings on the heat press. I know that with certain colors after pressing, the color changes temporarily, then revers back to normal, but this never happened with these shirts. In fact, I did a red shirt right after those orange ones & everything turned out fine on the reds. I had done shirts for this lady before on a darker orange & those shirts turned out fine, but for some reason, this orange is bleeding through on this new batch. She's real pissed & I can't figure out what went wrong. Please help!!!!

Did your transfer company possibly use the wrong ink?

I did recently replace the ink last week, but I bought the exact same ink from the companies website that was in the printer when I bought it.

It's not common but I have heard of bad batches of shirts coming from the factories. Can you switch brands? Say Gildan to Port & Co. orange.

I can give that a try. I'll have to order some, then see what happens. Thanks for your help! If you can think of anything else, please let me know.

It worked on a red tee it should work on an orange tee. No mystery there. You didn't change inks. So it has to be a bad batch of tees.
