Jet-Opaque II Iron on Heat Transfer Paper/Dark Color 25 Sheets 8.5x11

Worked well for 20 t-shirts I made for a club get together. After several washings, they're still holding up well. A couple bits of advice: The background of the transfer is white, not clear. So what ever you're printing will have a white background, border, etc. If you don't want that, you'll have to print with the desired background color. Keep in mind, that will use a lot of ink. Also keep in mind that if you don't want a white border around what ever you are printing, you'll have to cut out around the design. Not that big of a deal until you have to do 20 or more in a row. I used cellophane tape to GENTLY remove the backing paper from the transfer before placing on the shirt. Plan on doing one or two practice transfers first, on an old t-shirt. I used a hand iron to press the transfers with the following advice: Press straight down with the iron using a moderately firm pressure. DO NOT wiggle or move the iron once it's on the transfer. If the iron doesn't cover the whole transfer, pick the iron up, move it to the adjacent area and press straight down. Wiggling or moving the iron once it's on the transfer causes the transfer to lift from the fabric.

Heads up, not as easy store bought iron ons. Expect to waste a few trying to get just the right setting. I made sure to let it dry completely before pulling off the sheets. If you have parchment paper, use a sheet of parchment paper on top and then let it cool. Once cooled, it should peel right off. I also didn't iron for the full 90 seconds each time. Depending on how big your iron on was. My smaller ones took sometimes only 45 seconds with heat. If it was a full page then it was closer to 1 minute and 40 seconds. Once you get the timing down, they work like a charm! I haven't washed them so not sure how long they will last on the shirt, but I was only looking to have these shirts/iron ons for a one day gathering.

Bette options

Made three shirts today. The first two came out perfect except for the lines created by the Teflon sheet I used. For the third I thought I would try the backing that I had peeled from the image to avoid the lines... if only I had read the instructions here FIRST. Didn't realize there was a parchment sheet (or 2?) included. Re-read the instructions from the package and it doesn't mention that. Now I have a shirt with the backing paper ironed to it. :( Hoping that the paper comes off in the wash.All in all, they work, they look good. If I ever need more, I wouldn't hesitate to buy again. Follow the directions **exactly** and you will not be disappointed.

This product has great body and adhesion if done right. I work for a prototyper, and often we need to mock up logo placement on a fabric product. This has been an excellent solution. We've had great results on nylon and cotton. When printed, the colors look lighter than they will be once heat set.Peeling off the backing can be a little tricky, and you have to make sure not to scratch or damage the printed image at all, or white will show where it's damaged. Scissors are better to cut shapes than an X-acto for the same reason. I set the iron to a medium setting, covered with the Teflon sheet (my pack came with 2), and pressed a *little* firmly for about 30 seconds. The end result is smooth, flexible, and sturdy.

Works really well with the cannon printer I have. The only thing I dont like is that you cant press the shirt before putting the paper on your shirts. The heat makes it roll in so you have to place and press it really quick or not preheat the shirt to keep it from curling up.

Only had an opportunity to use these one time so far but they seem to work as advertised. I spent a couple days looking for silicon paper to use between the heat press and the transfer paper before I realized that the package came with those sheets. I thought they were just dividers to prevent them sticking to one another. That was a huge bonus to me!

Doesn’t work well
