... My question is-is the white in background going to show up if I use a dark transfer and what color of shirt would you suggest?
yes the white in the background WILL SHOW UP AS WHITE like this one did:

here's another example of white showing:
I think you'll get the idea. Not my favorite but it works I suppose.
so my suggestions to cut around the Mickey head as close as possible like I did in these shirts:

Note on the "Bill" MM head above you'll see a little white between Tigger and the MM Head b'c I couldn't figure out how to cut out the white in between without trashing the transfer!
otherwise you can just trim as close as you can but you will see white - like on this one - when you use a dark transfer:

or this one:

the only other option is to use a LIGHT TRANSFER, like I did on these shirts:
[/IMG] and

the only problem is... that you will see exactly the color that's on the tee like the blue on the shirt above came through on the "roll of film" transfer itself. Not nice.
Oh yeah and I don't personally like that transparent look (like scotch tape).
decisions, decisions. (Personally, I'd cut the white away from the Mickey head as close as possible but that's my opinion.) As far as color goes, a red t gives a dramatic effect, a gray t hides a multitude of sins, and a white t looks crisp and clean but I used whatever worked - the Incredibles I did on yellow (too bright now that I look back at them), the various MM heads I did on gray, white, green, and red ts. Sometimes I went for a "pop" of color like on this one:

Good luck whatever you decide! Here's a little pixie dust to help you along the way...
I'm just afraid of it not looking as "crisp" if I wash it first. Thank you so much for all the help!
