Great DIY shirts! Nov 12, 2006
By Gene Cloner
These are wonderful! You just print anything you want to transfer and then iron them on. You have your custom shirt under 10 minutes!! The only drawback is that they transfer together with the white background unlike the ones for white fabric (So, remember *not* to flip your image when you print!). So you need to trim the print out carefully not leaving a border. Similarly, if you want to print text, you may want to print them in a backgrund box. Using it is super-easy. Just make sure you are using a 100% cotton fabric, that's all.
Note: All you people with transfer problems, do make sure you strip the backing off after printing and use just the transfer and the 'cover' sheet for iron on!

 great! Nov 15, 2007
By James N. Kohler
These are awesome. I was skeptical about them because we all know how iron-on stuff usually goes... But I used a inkjet printer and printed off a graphic and it ironed on perfectly, even better than most real t-shirts. Immediately I came up with many t-shirts I wanted to make because they looked very high quality like a company made them.. highly recommended.

 waste of time and money!! Nov 07, 2006
By Eena
"mom of 3 monsters"
first of all, it took FOREVER to get the trsfers to stick to the t-shirts, then, they only give you one of those papers to go between each transfer and the iron which meant that once each one started getting sticky, I had no choice but to keep using it therefore RUINING the shirts. Maybe it was just user error, but this isn't the first time I've done T-shirt trasnfers, yet only two out of the included 6 actually came out right. Avery trasfers are far easier to use (I just wish they didn't leave the tea-stain effect). All in all, these have proven to be hit or miss with me, and they're too pricey to be going through trial and error.

Indestructible Transfer Medium May 22, 2009
By Mary Peacock
Using the HP Iron-on Transfer medium is incredibly easy. The adhesion is strong, and it's durable through many washings. I've tested laminations in petroleum contaminated environments, and even left it soaking in straight gasoline - no noticeable deterioration, not even any change in color. Amazing stuff.HP Q1974A Iron-on Transfers for Color Fabrics (8.5x11, 6 Sheets)
I use an inkjet printer. If I printed the same image on paper it would run when I poured water on it, but print it on this stuff and it's there forever.
Craftspeople, this stuff is a great way to make your own fabric labels. I use a somewhat heavy Pellon interfacing. I compose the labels in a program like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, adding faint dashed cut lines between labels, then, after laminating, I cut the labels apart on a paper cutter, and voila! a bunch of great looking sew-in labels for your products. I use a really old heavy iron with a solid plate. Look for one in second hand shops. It makes the job quicker.

Are people just not following the instructions? These are GREAT! Jan 07, 2010
By J. Carlson
I'm not sure why some people are having difficulties with these, I found this to be a very simple and effective solution to making some basketball shirts for an intramural team I am playing for. So far the near full-sheet logos on the front of the shirt (about 8" wide by 9" tall) and the very thin numbers on the back (2"-3" wide by 7" tall) are staying on beautifully. Only time will tell after repeated washings, but so far so good.
So, for $3 a shirt (one sheet = $2 and I used 1.5 sheets per shirt for the logos and numbers) plus the $5 shirts at another retailer plus $1-$2 for the ink in the ink cartridge (I used 3/4 a cartridge for 12 shirts, I figure, since you have to print on "Normal" to "Best" print quality for good results) it comes to about **$10** a shirt (front and back)!
For comparison, to have one of those shirts custom-made from the available graphic T-shirt mail-order web sites that are out there it would have easily cost me $25 a shirt (trust me, I checked almost all of them and the custom numbers on the back really sent the cost through the roof). So when you multiply that $15 savings per shirt by 12 T-shirts that's some significant savings in favor of using this product ($180 total)!
I'm removing 1/2 star for the fact that I had to change the design to accommodate for the white background being transferred with the design and for the fact the that the removal of the paper backing didn't peel perfectly every time and therefore left little remnants of paper on the adhesive when trying to remove it (I had to use a knife to scrape it off).
Rating: 4 1/2 stars (unfortunately, Amazon's rating granularity only lets me do 4 stars :)
