Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I've often wondered this myself. I know the shop I'm at (long before I started here,) used to do sub transfers.They got out of it long ago and focused on just direct printing, but same thing runs through my head when I put a sheet of black plastic on a white A4....Suppose everyone just uses a poly compatible WB?

In oven type dryer you cannot control where dyestuff changing from solid to gas and back will land on garment. Most off it will stay where you printed it, but not all. Paper is partly vehicle and partly enclosure to prevent air/ink fumes moving around ink. Same as with calander when directly printing yardage polyester. Boris
You can get blur if you don't remove the transfer correctly as well. It looks like the ink bled or leached into the surrounding fabric. It will happen with a coffee mug too if the clamp isn't tight all the way around, either with a mug press or wraps.Steve
