How To Keep Iron-On Transfers From Bleeding

[scrapah1]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Amy Mickey's Transfers. Definitely the best out there but...does anyone have any ideas how to keep these designs from bleeding (especially on rainy days)?

We had an issue last time where my daughter fell asleep on my husband and their designs bled together and others complained of bleeding after coming home.

If a thread already exists on this, please point me to it.

If you have any suggestions, I would love to here them!!!

Thanks,
April

I have never had the problem with amy's transfers and we got positively drenched for a whole day the last time we were there.....wading thru puddles wet. My recommendations is to make sure you are printing with photo quality when you print them and make sure you are letting them dry about 24 hours before you iron them on the shirts. Also make sure shirts are washed (without fabric softener!) and dried before applying disigns....

When we went to WDW it rained a little every day and we didn't have any issues with bleeding. Not sure why that would have happened.

The only other tip I can add to Marne's great list, is be sure to use factory ink, using refillable ink 'might' be the culprit??
