Hi,
I’m using 3 G Opaque on black shirts at 350 degrees for 30 seconds. The whites are all yellow after I press them. What’s going wrong ? I’m following manufacturers guidelines.
Thanks,

Ed

Try less time, 20 secs maybe. Are you confident your press is operating at the correct temperature?

your whites are probably not whites, but grays

simply make them transparent

I'll try 20 sec. Thanks

The whites are white on the printed transfer but yellow on the printed shirt. I'll try less time and see what happens. Thanks

the only way to know for sure they are whites are to make them transparent
and have nothing print in that area

now you are guarenteed to have white as the 3g opaque itself is white
and will not ever yellow at recommended settings (or even above for that matter)

knocking 1/3 of your press-time off may lead to ink/paper longevity issues

if you don't want to try the transparency, then move your 'yellow' saturation to a -7

Check your prints before pressing with a magnifier. I use a 40x magnification jewellers loupe I bought for a couple of quid from ebay.
