Dark transfer question?

[Pomlover2586]

Ok so I purchased some dark transfer paper because I was told that on light transfer paper all the white areas are clear and on dark paper all white areas are white....including non-printed sections. I ironed the dark transfer paper onto a red shirt with the saying "It's a Disney thing, you wouldn't understand"

The image came out fine but the white background behind the black words turned from white to a light red color [not quite as red as the shirt but it definetly changed to match the color of the shirt]

Does anyone know what happened with this? The shirt is not ruined, it looks fine, it's just not the effect I was expecting. I have some other deisigns i'd like to do and keep the background white. Any help appreciated!

Oh, I have no idea as to what happened. I just did one for the 4th of July and ironed it on a red sweatshirt and it came out without a problem..I was worried tho,as I am very low on ink...sorry I couldn't be of any help..
