Was amazed quality of transfer of pattern onto linen!!! Directions clear and accurate. I didn’t need to cut. Thickness of transfer went on linen smoothly and removal of paper was even without damage to picture or fabric. Would definitely buy again since was successful on all 14 linen pieces that day!

These things are pretty amazing. This is how I stumbled upon them: I dropped the ball on making a special birthday t-shirt for for my son to wear on his birthday. I spent a bunch of time designing a shirt on a website, went to check out, and then I discovered it would not have arrived in time for the big day. Then I started browsing around websites for local print design companies, but taking into account the additional fees for the rush job, I was looking at something like $40 for a customized t-shirt for my son to wear. That seemed like an awful lot of money to spend on something that he would wear for a few hours. I ended up ordering Avery iron-on transfers from Amazon. Once again, Amazon Prime to the rescue. How the iron on transfers work: You go on their website to design whatever you want on your shirt (or tote bag, pillowcase, or whatever). You can import any photo or graphic, and you have a lot of freedom as far as image and text placement, colors, etc. Then you print the image on your inkjet printer and iron it on. It was super simple, and it turned out great. Although, I have to warn you: do not do it on a wood table. Or if you do, make sure to place sufficient buffer materials between your t-shirt and the table. I have a nice rectangular mark that appears to be a mixture of glue and fabric fibers that don't appear to be going anywhere soon. But this seems more like user error than the fault of the product itself which is why I kept the rating at 5 stars. Just be careful when you make yours. The package has 12 sheets in it and cost about $12. I bought a plain white t-shirt for $5 from a local big box store. So all in, I paid about $6 for my son's birthday shirt! I think I was looking at around $22 if I had ordered online from the first store I was looking at (more from local printing shops), and this way I was able to customize the whole thing top to bottom and use any image I wanted. Overall, I was really impressed with the quality and ease of use of the transfers. The program that you use to design the graphic is really fantastic and user friendly. It only took a few minutes to figure out, and it really gives you a lot of design options. The colors came out very crisp and clear. I recommend that you read the instructions very carefully, and if you follow them exactly, you're sure to have great results.

Problem: third grader wanted to do a piano/singing tribute to Bowie, and online printers would not print the design sought due to copy right, though we had modified some of the graphics. Their position was understood. Then I discovered the Avery transfer paper. I bought both the dark and the light color transfer papers not knowing which the little guy would prefer at the end. Here is the upshot, working with both the light and dark paper: • Wash and dryer dry your t shirt/fabric first. A shrunk fabric works best • the more time you spend prepping and the closer you follow the instructions the better your end product • don't be afraid of force (pushing down) and heat • Trimming the extra paper on the light paper minimizing areas that will be clear but somewhat glossy • Trimming the extra areas on the dark paper avoids transferring the color white to the fabric • Through trial and error I figured out it is better to avoid sharp corners to make them round, reducing the risk of corners peeling off • The side of the paper you print on is the white side for both dark and light paper, so make sure you know how to load the paper in your inkjet printer • Your final print area can be larger than a sheet as you can cut images/words from the paper and space them or use them elsewhere on the shirt (for instance, arm badges can be printed in a corner of the same sheet) Trick: • To avoid damage to the reverse side graphics, if you do a front/back design, use a large cutting board or a piece of flat wood slide it in the t-shirt that way the wood sits between the front and back. This also solves the issue of both sides of the t-shirt not being perfectly flat/ironed before you start Light Color Paper: • You need to print in reverse as the image is reflected back on the fabric. I used Powerpoint and flipped the images and writing and avoided the online Avery tool for doing so • As mentioned before, you don't have to cut very precisely as you only leave behind gloss/clear where you don't trim Dark Color Paper: • You DO NOT need to print in reverse • You need peel of the printed paper BEFORE initiating transfer with an iron -I wasted one sheet not bing careful • The portion you don't trim transfer as white and you can create a border, rough or smooth, as I did with the front of the dark t shirt • Peeling the transfer portion from the t shirt before ironing is difficult....I used tweezers and eventually I managed to peel off the backing • You use an included parchment paper over the peeled paper to press the image onto the fabric Final Impressions: • Don't expect professional grade printing • Recognize these are not permanent and are intended for fun and event needs • Mistakes and rough edges on my work is my own haste getting in the way This met my needs, to have a front/back t-shirt design on both dark and white t-shirts, using the appropriate paper for each color. **** UPDATE ***** Both the white and black t shirts have been washed about 15 times each by now. And, they still look very nice.

I bought these transfer sheets because I was going to a concert with my friend and we wanted to make our own t-shirts. I bought two 95% cotton 5% spandex shirts and we tried to make our shirts.Anyway, we did everything right, except washing the shirts, which i don't think made a big difference. We rounded the edges of our images, had a pillowcase set up and ironed the shirts more than enough, but both the shirts came out with ripped corners and a thin layer of the images. After washing them , not knowing they were already ruined, they got worse. They were cracked and just not wearable About a week later I tried again with Russel exercise shirts I got at walmart. I believe they were 50% cotton and 50% polyester. I washed them before hand and cut them into the mussel t type shirt we wanted. THEY TURNED OUT GREAT. I really don't know what was different but each shirt had a vibrant, thick, sturdy image on it. I still have my t-shirt and I have washed and worn it numerous times and it still looks great TIPS: - I recommend washing your shirts. If not for the sheets not working better, than for sizing issues. I would recommend not using these sheets on skin tight shirts because it increases the chance of cracking and is just bad for the shirt. - Also, if you think you have ironed enough, go back and do it again. -Round the corners. This is very important - I would recommend not using these sheets on skin tight shirts because it increases the chance of cracking and is just bad for the shirt.

I'm a graphic designer, coach various kid teams & always seem to be making shirts for them. I began using the Avery transfers in 2010 & have some shirts that have been through the wash countless times since then. Never had a problem & the colors seem to last amazingly well over time. Other than using only white or light grey fabric & a good quality shirt, my tips would be: 1) pre-wash the shirt (I've used cotton & 50/50) & tumble dry. 2) Plain paper final review: ALWAYS look at your design through the back of the paper (hold it up to a window or bright light) & make sure all of your text has been mirrored & the design looks good. 3) Print the final design using the best quality your printer can output. 4) Trim close to the printed parts but leave a bit of a margin - 2mm'ish. Don't cut so close that your design falls apart or warps while you are ironing. Round off points, if even a little. 5) For fine designs that have been cut to the flimsy stage, cover with a sheet of parchment paper in the beginning of the ironing to get it stuck down. The parchment can be removed to finish the ironing. Baking parchment will not stick to this stuff & can get pretty darn hot. Do not use waxed paper or regular printer paper: they do not like to get hot. 6) Follow the package ironing instructions. Simple as that. I use a cutting board on the floor so I can apply good pressure. For sleeve designs, my hubbie made me a little block of wood that fits inside. He cut a small groove on the bottom for the seam so the wood lays flat. 7) After I peel the paper off I lay a piece of parchment over the whole design & give it a final hit with the iron. This seems to really set the transfer into the fabric & gives the most natural feel. 8) If you can plan ahead, it's good to give them a final rinse with a bit of vinegar in the water to set the dye. Line dry & tumble on low to soften the whole shirt. I've never had the nerve to do the full heat dryer before the 'event' but that's my own weird thing. My worst experiences have come from using a cheap, lightweight shirt, using transfers that were too old or had been exposed to moisture (they did work though, just needed some extra tlc), or using a shirt color other than white or light grey. Love these things, just ordered 18 more. Buy them, have fun.

If you want a one time use item that appearance isn't super important on these are probably fine. I bought these to use on felt and they actually worked better than I expected for that application. A little peeling but they adhered better than I expected. I tried using the rest of the pack on shirts and every one of them was trash. A couple things of note: -While they are for "light" colored items, unless you're putting them on a bright white it won't come out how you expect. Tried on a light gray shirt and the red and blue text was pastel and the backing of the transfer stood out more against the shirt than the image. -Trim as close to the image as possible and try to keep the edges sharp, they will show. The backing shows up and it is a stark contrast to whatever you have put it on. Even on white it tends to stand out because it tends to give things an almost wet look. -Adhesion is hit or miss. Maybe I just had a bad batch but some parts of the image would iron down smooth, other areas would end up with a textured look, especially spots that didn't have ink. Overall they were easy to print on and I'd buy them again if needed, but not for shirts or anything important. -Make sure to flip the image before printing. It would have been nice to have an instruction sheet included that mentioned how to's and tips (the pack of dark transfers from the same brand had one), but maybe mine was just missing that sheet.

Worked perfectly! I downloaded the image to Pages (used “flip horizontally” to mirror it) and ironed onto cotton bags to make little bank bags with chocolate coins for my daughter’s Harry Potter birthday party. I found that it was the force used rather than the amount of time when ironing that helped. The first bag was extremely difficult to remove the backing paper and the image kept pulling up and I was wondering what I’d gotten myself into. But for the rest of them, I ironed (on a wooden cutting board) for about 10 seconds pushing very hard, let them cool and then repeated the iron. After letting them cool, the paper peeled away very easily and they look great!

Wasted $$$$$. I think this package contained 6 sheets, I used all 6 trying to get a clean transfer. Followed ALL the instructions. Only ONE transfer peeled correctly and worked. All the others either stuck in the corner when I was trying to peel, or yellowed, or didn't come off at all. This paper is defective- it doesn't peel off!! All were ironed on in precisely the same manner. Ruined my 100% cotton aprons. What a waste. I attempted to contact Avery directly, but I was in a loop of "customer disservice" on their website. I would love to get a refund on this if possible. The only Plus was it arrived as promised next day. See photo on the peeling when removing the backing. I saved this one by re-ironing that corner, but it's not perfect.
