Is the graphic there but just "hazy" looking? We had the same issue and we were over-curing the underbase, we now watch and make sure we do not go over 230F with a temp gun.
How many shirts? We have run short runs through the heat press with kraft paper at 305F for 10 seconds, an insurance step which also produces a nice smooth print. For large runs we wash test shirts chosen at random. Paul V.

And I've tried really, really hard. I'm using the white buffalo ink... I'm doing the flash print flash formula... I'm not curing it completely after the first hit. I've tried not doing that (completely cured on first hit) I've heated them beyond curing temp. I'm really quite discouraged... we've been printing for a long time without problems but within the last year, not good.... What am I doing wrong? --Scott D.
