When a transfer comes out weak, patchy or offset, one of a short list of things is usually responsible.

Temperature. Too low and the dye does not fully transfer; too high and the fabric can scorch or the colour shift.
Pressure. Uneven pressure is the most common cause of patchy results. Check the platen and the press mechanism.
Time. Contact time has to match the fabric and the ink load. Thick fabric needs longer.
Paper and ink match. A paper that releases too slowly, or an ink that is overloaded, will leave a dull transfer.
Moisture. Damp fabric or damp paper produces steam and a mottled result. Store both dry.
Fabric type. Transfer printing needs polyester. On cotton you will get a faint, temporary image at best.
Registration. On multi-colour work, misalignment between the print and the garment shows immediately.

Change one variable at a time and keep a record. Most transfer problems are settled by proving the settings on a small sample first.
