Review on PPD Inkjet Transfers 8 5X11 PPD004 20 by Denise Davis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice results!

This was the first time I've used this dark carbon paper and the first time I've used paper at all in well over 20 years. It's fair to say I was incredibly nervous about the choice of materials as well as actually using them. And you know what? It was a CAKE and it was amazing for the shirts I made for myself and another bartender to wear while on the job at the American Legion Memorial Day Party. As long as you follow the instructions you shouldn't have any problems. In particular: 1. You don't need to print the image in reverse like normal carbon paper. JUST DON'T DO IT.2. While standard transfer paper is transparent, this paper is white. This means, that any background or surrounding areas that remain "blank" are white. So keep your designs cropped close to the edges. And use white to your advantage!3. I can't stress this enough, but if you are transferring your design to a shirt/pillowcase/bag etc, press VERY HARD, at HIGH heat, onto a FLAT, HEAT RESISTANT SURFACE. And do it AT LEAST for as long as the instructions dictate. If you follow the instructions, you'll end up with something pretty impressive. It's not screen printed, but for what it is, it's amazing. I haven't had any cracking/peeling issues, but if you used the entire sheet without cutting at all, I would see the potential for this as the vinyl would become stiffer as the design got larger. Unfortunately these are the best photos we were able to take that day and they really don't do them justice. I have to upload the shirt itself later! The item arrived on time and in perfect condition. 10/10 recommend!

Not a replacement for silkscreen, but the best at what it does!
