Does T-shirt transfer paper really work?

Question

I'm considering buying 'Imagepro Print & Go, Wear It!' T-Shirt transfer paper, but first, of course, I want to find out if it's any good!
I couldn't find any reviews on the internet.
Does it actually do its job? are the pictures clear? what colours don't work? etc.
Thankyou!

Answer 1

I'm not sure about this brand, but I used one t-shirt transfer paper that I put in my inkjet printer. I made a nice picture of my kids and put it on a t-shirt. It looked great!

Answer 2

I'm not familar with the specific brand.

T-shirt transfer paper is not the same as the plastic iron-on stuff. The plastic stuff can peel away or the ink can wear off the plastic layer. The plastic stuff does offer the sharpest image when new.

Even the worst of these always lasted through a multitude of launderings for me when turned inside-out with machine-wash "gentle" in cold water and drip-dried rather than machine-dried. Dryer heat can mess up the plastic ones in a hurry.

Answer 3

Im not sure what brand I had used, but when I tried some printable tshirt transfer material, it didnt last through 2 washes before the transfer was cracked and peeling. I suggest hand washing the shirt with the transfer on it and absolutely no drying in the dryer, just hang it up. Should improve the life of it

Answer 4

For inkjet printers, check out IronAll. It is a professional quality paper that will work with a home iron. It produces far better results than any of the retail papers. Just do a web search. Most vendors will sell a small sample pack.

Answer 5

It works and the pictures turn out well. Just don't wash it very many times that's the only thing it will peel off easily after too many washes. I used to make them all the time as gifts. Kodak paper works best.

Answer 6

Ok, I've actually used one I got at home depot. Yeah they work but i dont think they look as good as screenprinting. Here's an awesome video site that shows you how to make quality shirts on the cheap: www.cardboard.tv
