Review on πŸ‘• PPD Inkjet Iron-On Dark T Shirt Transfers Paper 11x17" - Pack of 10 Sheets, Perfect for Vibrant Designs by Shantel Griffin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good, but be careful if using a heat press

Print the design (CMYK) on an Epson consumer printer ( WF-7710) (about $275) and the design is good. No color difference between file and printout. It is difficult to separate the design from the substrate. it takes patience. Lightly fold the edge back and forth a few times. The design looks very thin and fragile after cleaning, so be careful not to tear it. We didn't tear any of the designs, so that's not a bad thing. However, we had problems printing the t-shirt while it was in the heat press. Putting the design in the heat press didn't help. You won't have much time to pre-straighten the drawing if the edges start to curl. A few times the edges curled and stuck to the other side of the design. Luckily, after taking the design out of the heat press, we were able to peel off the scalloped edges so we could try again. I recommend NOT putting your shirt (or whatever you design) on a heat press. The first. First, lay the shirt on a flat, non-hot surface. Then lay the design down and align it so it's straight. THEN place parchment paper on top. Then carefully (preferably with a helper) place the shirt with the already worked out position in the transfer press. This eliminates the need to to straighten the design on the heat press before pressing and colliding with the scalloped edge. Actual pressing went well, although I think 12 seconds is too short (375 F). We ironed each shirt a second time (12 seconds) and then used a hot iron (1800 watts) to smooth down the edges of the parchment that weren't clinging to the design and were waiting to peel off. Good bowl. As you can see the pattern stuck well on the shirt. I want to make this paper in a way that you don't have to remove the substrate first, as it's almost impossible to line up the pattern on a heat press without twisting the edges. . This would greatly simplify the process. Will use again. I wish they made this paper so you don't have to remove the backing first, because flattening a design on a heat press is almost impossible without curling the edges.
