If they are 50/50 blends the heat will draw the dye out of the Polyester. Mainly from my experience (which is limited in shirts) the reds, dark blues, and blacks

I wash mine before I do them seems to help some. Other wise try a different brand of shirt. Some of the 100% cottons are the way to go but with those you have to watch I have had some troubles it appears some of them have a weird dye or something that the Siser doesn't always adhere real well to.

I only use 50/50 because the 100% cotton shrinks too much for me to be comfortable with. I het press the shirts for 3 seconds before applying the vinyl to them, then I press the vinyl. It does leave a "square" visible, but what I do is put the shirt in front of a fan for a few minutes and the moisture goes right back into the shirts and the "square" goes away. I hope this is what you are talking about, I had problems with this at first until I realized how to get around it. If you have any other questions, message me, I'm not a "know it all" but I have learned the hard way lol
