Ok, don't know if it's my nerves since we are getting ready to launch, but a few things have me possibly concerned...

After pressing a total white Hot Split screen print transfer onto a 50/50 purple shirt, it looks a tiny bit grayish and that's because the shirt is bleeding through a tiny bit. We are using the recommended settings from TE. Hubby seems to not care too much about it. Any suggestions? Is that normal?

Contact your vendor and ask them about a color block transfer for red/purple.

Is it a transfer designed for application to dark fabrics?

Polyester gives up its colour under standard curing temps and this colour is absorbed by the plastisol ink.

This absorption process can take a few hours after curing, so best to look at the garment 24 hours after curing.

You need a non-bleed transfer to prevent this.

Thanks, called Transfer Express and she recommended Goof proof or Elasti Prints. However, I'm a bit confused because the Hot Split does state best for cotton/poly blend garments...

Now do I redo 50 shirts or just leave them be. It's not a huge deal. Just something I notice, it's just not a vibrant white like I would like it to be.

Hey Jen,

What did you end up doing with the shirts ? Did you find a way to stop the bleed through ?
