i did a foil shirt and where the press contacts the shirt it looks faded or lighter black.i use to do alot of transfers and the same thing happened.is there a way to stop it.i am using 350 degrees or so
The fading should go away as the shirt cools. I have the same problem some times depending on shirt maker and color but it never lasts. Your press may be getting too hot. Check it with an IR gun.
Usually this is the moisture coming out of the shirt. Red seems to be the biggest problem but other colors can exhibit the same results. Normally the color blends back in after cooling.
