Monitor calibration will calibrate your monitor to a specific color temperature and brightness/contrast. You could use a printer profiler like Print Fix Pro to bring your colors back in line. Print the color target on the material you use. Apply it with heat to your fabric as you normally would, then measure the target and let the software build the profile. It goes without saying that the monitor needs to be calibrated before profiling the printer. You could also make a color adjustment layer in your image editing program to cancel out the shift but that probably is not the best solution.
