heat transfer has yellow tint

Recommended Posts

I just started making heat transfers and I noticed when I apply it to a white shirt, everything has a yellow tint to it. What am I doing wrong?

I'm using pigment and going by the setting for clearsoft inkjet 375-400 degrees for 8-10 seconds (that's what the paper from Pro World says)

What I usually do is bring the heat to 350 and the time down to 15 secs... then I slowly lift the transfer while warm. Then I place a teflon sheet on top of the print and apply heat for another 10 secs... this way you will eliminate the yellow...

Consider also that your print driver might need adjusting. I use a WF1100 with pigment inks and set my color settings to magenta +5, cyan +5, yellow -25. This removed yellowing from my transfers.
