I think the process is that the transfer paper is composed of hot-glue on wax paper.  You spray ink on the hot glue with a printer, then an iron melts the glue into the fabric of the shirt.  The hot-glue starts clear, buy yellows differently than the fabric as it ages, and causes the square area of the iron on to stretch differently than the rest.  The process is great for a very small quantity that is needed for one day, such as to identify security personnel at an event, but it is terrible for a shirt that you actually want to keep wearing.
