Question

I would like to transfer a design to a t-shirt. I bought Avery brand's "dark t-shirt" transfers" and I followed the directions carefully. However, I do not know how to set the printer to paper type "t-shirt transfer". The only options on my computer are "Plain/inkjet paper", "transparency paper", and "photo paper". I did it once on a certain program on someone else's computer , but I cannot remember the program I used on there.
Anyhow, I printed the image out on the Avery paper using the paper type "transparency" and the image came out watery looking and once I'd ironed the image on to the shirt, it peeled off.
Please help if you have any idea what I'm talking about and know how to do shirt designing.
Thank you.

Answer 1

I would use the photo paper setting because your paper is thicker. The printer made it watery because it thought you had transparency paper in it, which is very thin and easily ripped.

Answer 2

You don't want to use the transparency setting. Transparencies are printed on clear plastic (like they use on overhead projectors in classrooms).

Photo setting should do it. If I knew the make/model of your printer, that would help. There are several websites that tell how to configure your printer to do transfers.

Answer 3

I believe if you use the photo quality, you will get a good crisp picture to iron on. My machine has different choices, but it is close. Remember to reverse you image!

Answer 4

I think you might need to use the photo paper setting

Answer 5

Look on google for iron ons for shirts!
