I am having the worst t-shirt day ever. I finally had the time to go get ink and other items. I downloaded my t-shirt designs and I was planning on making 10 t-shirts today. I printed them out on a blank paper for practice and everything was fine UNTIL......I used the t-shirt transfer paper. They wouldn't print right. I tried over and over until I used up 5 pieces of transfer paper and 25% of my ink. I just want to scream. This is not my first try at making shirts. I have made 18 of them and I wanted to make 18 more (enough for everyone for the entire trip). I feel like ripping my hair out. I think I will wait until tomorrow to try again but I am now worried that it will happen again.

At least I feel a bit better.

Sorry about that. I understand. I printed ALL of my designs on dark shirt transfer paper mirror imaged over the course of a week (20 sheets or so). I wasn't thinking at all. When I went to iron them on, I realized my mistake. MAJOR OOPS! At least I didn't iron them on and ruin all my shirts...

I ruined one sheet today after changing ink because I didnt print it on paper first to get the ink flowing.

I hope things get better for you.

I put in new ink a couple days ago and my cartridges show about 90% full after successfully printing a few of Amy's transfers. However, when I try to print a DISign that has kelly green text and border, where it should be green it is blue. Thinking my new cartridge isn't dispensing the yellow correctly. Now can I scream too? I also ruined transfers 'cause the color has got to be green....

after I posted above and went to work w/ Light Transfers....OMG NEVER AGAIN!!!! UGH. I hate them. If you look at one of my shirts in the pictures i posted you can see in the yellow shirts how I messed one up horribly and how bad they all look on light (ever listening to the micheals lady say there is no diff again).

thanks..I think my printer isn't loading the paper right. The beginnig seems to get cut off and a big gob of ink is there. Maybe I'll stick to designs that are centered.
