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.

I was very impressed with how these came out! I bought this transfer paper to make customized tank tops for my friend's bachelorette party. I used 95% cotton 5% spandex plain white cami tanks from F21 (make sure not to get any ribbed fabric, not sure how those would turn out but I wasn't gonna risk it). I used an HP C3100 series inkjet printer on the highest quality print setting and used the photo paper setting (in my experience this prints more cleanly). I made a logo with text in Word and then, to get a mirror image (so that the iron-on was flipped correctly) I checked the "flip horizantally" box from the print menu--no other software required! The transfer paper instructions say to place a pillowcase between the iron and the fabric, but I didn't have a spare so I just used a different tank as my protective layer. I used the cotton setting on my iron and it took probably 2 minutes to transfer a 1/4 sized page, because initially I wasn't applying enough pressure and the corner had not transferred (I actually ripped it a little trying to peel it off)--so I just pressed it down again and kept ironing. I was amazed at how well I was able to recover from my mistake. You couldn't see a tear anywhere. The results honestly looked professionally done. The image transfers a little bit lighter than it looks on your screen, but not drastically enough to make me want to go back and change anything. I was also very impressed with how legible my text was. My logo had white block lettering text with a light blue outline in size 18 font and it was crisp and legible.One thing I would recommend is to trim as close to your image as possible. I was transferring a circular logo but just cut out a square, thinking the blank parts would not show up. However, blank parts of paper will still transfer onto your fabric as a kind of "clear" paint--the change in texture is subtle but noticible. So anything that you did not intend to be part of your image, trim with scissors! Also, I wish it came with more than 6 sheets. I think I would buy these again though. Easy and fun!

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 wearableAbout 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 greatTIPS:- 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.

Lo usé sobre manta natural y sí me funcionó perfecto. Hay que imprimir en espejo.

just little expensive

Bought this to place a logo on T-Shirt sleeve. The results were amazing, looks very professional. Holds the ink very well (used a Brother printer).

Avery products are the way to go. Perfect for my Epson inkjet printer. Colours are vibrant, better than other no-brand papers. Will not be disappointed!

This product is so good I used them for some bags I needed to make and the colour doesn't fade on them as long as you follow the instructions
