Avery Printable Heat Transfer Paper for Dark Fabrics, 8.5" x 11", Inkjet Printer Compatible, 5 Sheets of Iron On Transfer Paper, Great for Custom Shirts, Uniforms, Gifts, and More (3279)

This Avery printable heat transfer paper is amazing! The colors come out vibrant and clear, and it sticks really well to dark fabrics without peeling or fading. The instructions were easy to follow, and the transfer held up nicely after washing. Perfect for custom t-shirts and creative projects—definitely a must-have for DIY lovers! Used it on my hat!

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.

Great for printing novelty T-shirts. Say they can be washed up to I think 20 times without fading. Make sure you read the instructions!

This was my first time doing iron-on transfers. Avery paper was recommended and I have likes and dislikes on both the light and dark fabric papers. This review is on the 3279 dark fabric paper. Liked that the back of the paper scored (see last picture) and so ez to peel. I also liked that, if your picture has white, it stays white since the ink is not being melted on to the material as with the lighter transfer paper. What I did not like is that the print is as-is: not flipped as with the lighter avery paper. I also did not like that the white edge trim you cut remains (pics 1 & 2) instead of "melting" on the fabric like the lighter paper. So, if you are doing a manual trim of your picture, do it as close as you can! In the end, with this paper, the actual ink is on top. I have no idea how that will remain after a wash unless the transfer cover sheet (pic 3) puts some sort of cover on it for protection. Oh, and read the instruction sheet first!

This works GREAT ! If you want to customize your own t-shirt or clothing, this product by Avery will definitely do the trick. All you need is a Color Ink Jet Printer and an Iron. And obviously a Computer. Once you purchase this Heat Transfer paper, you go to Avery's Site for the Template design you want, upload your photo onto the template and print it out. It is best if you already have Adobe installed on your Computer too since the Avery site will more or less insist you save the file in PDF format. When you insert the paper in the tray, insert upside down like you would a glossy. The instructions are very simple to follow. After you've printed onto the transfer sheet, cut around it, getting rid of what you don't want ironed onto your project. Then separate the back of the transfer paper from the decal itself. lay the decal onto the project clothing. Then lay the thin sheet of document paper on top of the decal or transfer paper. Using a hot, but dry iron, iron it for several minutes. Making sure you iron it on a hard surface. Not an ironing board. I used a big wood cutting board. It came out perfect my first try. And honestly that's unusual. So that's how easy this is to do. You can customize just about anything you can print out. I'm very pleased with this product and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone. You can see HOW To video's on YouTube also before you give it a go. My picture below is what I made and ironed on a t-shirt.

Muy buen producto

Really like the quality finish and look of my t-shirt designs on all my tests so far using the Avery products

Bon papier transfert, je n'ai pas eu de difficulté à l'utiliser (en utilisant le site web d'avery), les couleurs sont très belle lorsqu'on configure son imprimante dans la plus haute qualité.

Didn't realize this, disappointed, instant 5 stars.

The quality is so good and the peeling is so easy i liked it
