Hello
I have been using Magic Touch TTC 3.5 textilelight A3 transfer paper for nearly a year to put laserjet prints on white T-shirts. I have always cut around the image but have never had to be too exact as any white background left (for example around the handlebars of motorcycle images) has never shown on the shirt - till now!
In the last week the cut outline is visible on the shirt as an off white colour and is driving me nuts.
For instance, around a paint splatter image you can clearly see where I have cut it out whereas before just the drops of paint appeared on the white shirt.
Is it definitely the paper at fault or something else I haven't considered?
I have lightened the backgrounds, whitened the backgrounds and printed, off cuts of an unused sheet on a shirt but I can still see the creamy, off white shape on the shirt. Is the paper old? Damaged? Any suggestions gratefully received.

It maybe that your printer is starting to have stray toner that can cause the background to have very faint gray color. Try cleaning the printer with laser printer cleaner sheet. You can get it from office supply store like Office Depot.
