Review on C & T Publishing Transfer Artist Paper, 8.5 x 11-Inch, Pack of 18 Sheets by Robert Hodge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well if you are careful and patient and also when the paper is hot. Be willing to give up some of your work.

If you iron the image *just right*, this product will work well. However, I found I had inconsistent results: sometimes the included iron moved perfectly, and sometimes the areas where the iron rested didn't transfer completely no matter how long I ironed. Also, take the instructions for peeling off the still-hot paper seriously. Be extra careful when taking large pictures (mine were about 10 x 5). I've found that it's best to peel the transfer paper off until the paper starts snagging on the fabric, stopping and ironing more where the loose and "sticky" paper meets, then peeling back off until the paper gets stuck. This may require more than 5 additional ironing cycles. I don't have much experience with other papers, so I can't recommend an alternative. I found it difficult to work with, but liked the fact that the transfer didn't feel like a thick iron. If you get good results, the image should be fairly color stable after blurring.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
