What did I do wrong?

Don't get me wrong, my shirts look great. I love them, however, I must have done something wrong.

Even though I purchased the dark transfer paper, I still ended up with a white background. Did I do something wrong when I right clicked the design, or is it just the tansfer paper (I bought the HP kind that was BOGO)?

They are white because your printer doesn't print white. Think about Mickey's eyeballs & gloves (for example.) If you were using a white transfer paper on a red shirt, Mickey's eyes & gloves would be red.

Since you purchased the dark paper, Mickey's eyes & gloves will be white, no matter what color shirt you use.

Thanks! I guess I didn't do anything wrong -- except maybe not trim the disign enough, but I think it would have been near impossible to trim it correctly. I will try to post a picture later on today. (I can't believe I am still reading disboards at 2:34 AM!).

sounds like you skipped the trim step. let's see the pix to be sure.
