Graphic t-shirt production for white and light-colored shirts works by transferring an almost transparent background together with the image.  When producing an image using the light shirt application, the image on a white garment will look EXACTLY as it appears on the application medium, INCLUDING the barely noticeable transparent medium. The process works on light-colored garments but the white in the graphic image is absent and replaced with the color of the garment. Contour cut image will cut away the transparent medium along the outer edge of the image.
