i am having that problem as well. and i found out that i had a cold spot. so perhaps you wanna check on that. in addition make sure you have the pressure right as well. IC is very sensitive to temp and pressure.

but my prob is similar but it only happens at the area where i start peeling. the rest of the image is great.

an additional tip, dun forget to stretch and press after peeling to prevent peeling and cracking in the future.

Greetings, I am VERY NEW at the heat transfer thing...I basically got a free heat press for our church's youth group and make T-Shirts every now and then for them. The darks seem to be fine, but the lights seem to "stick." I've tried a variation from 335 degrees to 350 degrees, and from 8 seconds to 12 seconds, and it seems like I still have the problem. The first time I had this problem the image looked very very good as I was removing the transfer; but one small part wouldn't peel off. I don't have much experience with this and I'm fairly new here, I would appreciate any advice. Meanwhile I'll keep experimenting...thank you very much!

Sorry to be such a bother, but does anyone have any info on this or a link to another post?

Imageclip for laser has limitation when it comes to very light color design. The polymer does not adhere because there is very little toner for it to bond on.

There is a new Imageclip for inkjet that requires laser printer to make a mask and an inkjet printer to print the image on the transfer paper. Since you already have a laser printer you can buy a refurbished inkjet printer from Epsonstore.com really cheap. Sometimes the price of the printer is the same price as a set of OEM inks.

Here is a link of the test I did with the inkjet version:
