Iron on transfers

I'm going to be making some gag-shirts soon using that iron-on transfer paper. I'm thinking that setting the print job for "plain paper" is the way to go.

Anyone have any experience with this stuff?

TIA.....

Be sure to check the instructions on the package. There are different types that require different settings. Don't forget to print mirror image! Look for the cool peel stuff, it is easier on the fingers. I have had great results!

Let us know what brand you use & how it comes out?

I've done this and they came out great. Use a white 100% cotton t-shirt for the best results. As ByteTheBullet said remember to print Mirror Image - Very Important LOL! And after printing cut the sheet down to about 1cm all the way around the printed area. The thing that I found which differed from the instructions was how hot the iron had to be and how long to iron it for - I ended up burning the first one! Only a medium heat and a few seconds ironing is required. Have fun!

OK, I'm planning to make a sample tonight.

They are Avery Inkjet T-Shirt Transfers, hopefully they turn out well. My main concern is to put the correct amount of ink on the paper so it doesn't smear...

Some, like HP's transfers, DO NOT require a mirror image. With theirs, you print on the part of the transfer that points up--they give you a sheet of special paper to cover the image while ironing).

Cool, learn something new every day! Thanks!

and then. . . pay attention to the washing instructions!

I was amazed at how well the HP transfers worked. I printed on an Epson C84. The shirt/transfer has been washed a few times and still looks new.

The instructions with the Avery transfers, it says to wash it after ironing it on. I'm wondering if that's necessary.... we'll see I guess....
