Hi, If you can print the letters in outline and they are big enough to cut out, you can print them on a black shirt. Please remember that ALL the white areas which are visible before you Iron, will also be visible when you finish. Please contact us by chat, email or phone for more help. Can I correct the mistake on the t shirt after ironing text on the t-shirt?
Would you consider heather grey a light color? I am trying to decide if I should use light or dark transfer paper for my Disney princess mouse ears design for my daughter. Thank you. Hi, If you plan to print black or dark images the light transfer will be good. For very faint colours that might be tricky, depends how dark your heather gray is which normally is light enough so I would go for the light. Hi, Is there a difference in quality of transfer paper?
For instance, does the paper you buy at your local office supply or Walmart work just as good as the more expensive? Or is it all in the technique on how you iron it on.
I bought some from Walmart Next Style- light fabric transfer. I have not used it yet ,because, I read some reviews that it cracked and peeled. Do you have any experience with this paper. Hi, not with this one, but ironing on a suitable surface should be solid like a table NOT an ironing board , not enough heat or not long enough will cause even the most expensive transfer paper to yield poor results.
It also states that in my paper instructions. Hi Rick, An ironing board has a mesh under the lining which dissipates heat and also is not as solid as a table top or a cutting board for example.
This will prevent you from applying maximum heat and pressure to the garment which will result in a bad washing performance. Hi, I tried to fix my picture using the plain piece of paper but it has stuck to the picture.
How do I get it off without ruining the picture? Iron the paper again and ensure it is hot when you pill it off. That should work. You saved my project!!!!! I tried to keep the iron moving while I heated it , but it was stuck, stuck, stuck! Thanks so much! Hi Sally, the glitter transfer is currently out of stock. Thank you for the comment. Hi, the transfer for light colour fabrics such as your yellow, is translucent ours and some other manufacturers, but not all so the areas which are not printed and showing white on the transfer, will have the colour yellow coming through.
Hi, I have problem when I print on the dark transfer paper. The image came out weird which like the colours of the image came out like patches.
However I use the exactly same method and same image printed on the light transfer paper and it came out perfectly. Wonder could you please give me some advise of why would this happen? Please carefully refer to the instructions enclosed with the paper in the DARK transfer paper section. You will end up with a very thin film with the image on it Place on the garment FACE UP Cover with Silicon paper Iron according to the timings provided depending on the size of the image.
Where can i find dark transfer paper which only transfers the text no white bacground , because for some of the logos is hard to cut it out. May you give me tips for my T-shirt design not to be removed or having flaps.
Last time, my design is getting removed from my T-shirt. Hi, Make sure to follow the instructions in the pack. Ensure correct ironing heat and that you iron for the required time. Finlay, iron on a solid surface not an ironing board as you need to use pressure. Please get in touch for further support if you need, I hope this helps. Hi, I was wondering what type of transfer paper would I use if I wanted to print out an image to transfer onto a dark grey shirt and did not want it to have a white box around it?
I know that if I used the regular transfer paper that i have now, I could trim and use a blade to cut away the excess white from the logo designed, but I was hoping for a paper that would not require the extra trimming and time. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! So black text on grey shirts can be printed using the light transfer paper but if the image is photographic or the colours on the image are light yellows, light blues etc by using light transfer paper on grey shirts, will cause the grey of the shirt to mix with the colour of the image, changing it significantly.
Hi, I was wondering what kind of fabric is best for putting iron-on transfers? Also, are there any that should be avoided? Any info would be great, thanks. Look at the back label for any restrictions. Cotton works great and seems the most popular choice. Hi, It would be beneficial to know what printer you are using for this purpose? I think you might be placing the transfer paper face down on the garment. I would be interested to see a photo of the result on the shirt and a photo of the image printed on the transfer paper before transferring onto the garment if possible.
I suggest you contact us via sales photopaperdirect. I am looking for transfer paper that is made FOR steam to be used, instead of an iron.
I will be putting the image on a round surface, and the material is similar to felt. Think tennis ball. How can I do this? Any thoughts are really appreciated! I printed out dark transfer on white shirt.
It looks good. The problem is when i washed the shirt the ink also washed out slightly, but enough to darken my white t shirt.. The ink? Or my process? Or i have washed too soon? I am assuming that this shirt was washed as a delicate wash?
It is important that inkjet printed shirts are washed in a 40 degree normal wash with a spin cycle, especially in the first wash. Once the wash cycle completes, the shirt should be removed immediately and hang. A delicate wash does not remove all the water from the drum causing the items inside to be suspended in a lot of moisture which will make the ink seep away.
Once the first wash is completed, the risk of seepage is reduced or eliminated. You should also wait 24 hours before the first wash. Is there a low quality pigment? How will i know if i have an authentic pigment.?. My print is fading when i put soap.. Are you using genuine ink or compatible?
There will be some initial fading after the first wash and then it will stabilize. The image can always be refreshed by oroning it again with a silicon paper. Hi I bought some transfer paper however the paper is white on both sides! For example it is meant to have a grid or marking on the side to iron on and the other side would be white to print on! But the paper I purchased says print on the white side however the texture of the paper is different on both sides.
I am confused as to which side to print on!!! Also there was no fixing instructions or silicon paper included so what can I use instead? Hi, Put a small mark with a felt tip pen and try to rub it off, if it does then it is the other side that needs to be printed on. I do suggest that you contact the seller to avoid waste.
This all seems very helpful, thanks to share this all with the users. Here My query is: In sublimation process what mainly important that can give a best printing result among the list: 1. The printer 2. Ink 3. Paper quality 4. Heat Press machine or Else? In other words, if I am going to setup my T-shirt printing business, for what thing should I consider or should I spend my money on higher priority?
Or On what should I focus first? What is responsible for GOOD results during the entire process? Also pls suggest any Printer model for this that I can buy in my country India.
Should I take 8 in 1 or 10 in 1 heat press or Any individual T-shirt heat press? What is worth-full to buy? Hi, Sublimation printing is a technology we do not deal with as our transfers use ordinary inks, ordinary inkjet printers and can be used on any fabrics without the need of a polyester content for the process to work. We are unable to give technical support on sublimation as it is a totally different way of printing items. Or only a few or any specific fabric?
Hi, You can use transfer paper on ANY fabric as long as it is capable of handling the high heat required for the process. It does not matter what the fibre mix is.
The transfer paper will not work on any surface which is not porous absorbent , such as mugs or metals. That i can have in India or can Import from any country? I am trying to press a t-shirt design using ChromaCotton light transfer paper and for some reason the outside of the design turns out okay but the middle is white and cracked.
Any Idea? You need to ask the ChromaCotton people. My gut feeling is that the settings are perhaps incorrect, in terms of press time possibly too long and heat. That is assuming the paper is suitable with your ink and t-shirt fabric. I am sure they have come across this before and would be able to help further.
I would halt pressing any more until you hear from them to avoid waste. Thanks for the comment. Hi i had a question my husband and i are starting to make t shirts and the heat transfers come out right on every other shirt but the black one. We use the dark transfer paper too. What are we doing wrong??? Hi, Are you confident that the transfer paper is intended for dark fabrics?
Your printer does not have white ink. Only professional screenprint printing can achieve this using digital Indigo type printers. You can use the dark transfer, cover the entire design BUT the lettering in the same orange colour of the tshirt and leave the white lettering area empty. I want to transfer a picture with a black background with colors of red, blue, and white on a white t shirt, will it work? And where can I find the transfer paper to use on a white t shirt? Hi, if you are transferring onto a white t shirt, you need to use the light transfer paper and print the image fully — including all the black onto the paper.
The dark transfer paper is for Dark coloured backgrounds and it transferrs the white background together with the image, something you do not need when printing a white shirt — as the background is white already. Hi, you can wash the transfer.
So do I have to make an account in order to receive free shipping? So about how long would I take for it to arrive in us, in other words how long is shipping for USA? I am trying to print white writing on a puple shirt.
I have the dark transfer paper, but now I need to know since I do not have to mirror my image, can I use my laser printer to print my image or does it have to be a inkjet printer? What about my HP Photo Jet printer? Strictly Inkjet, unless your transfer paper is intended specifically for laser. I hope it helps. So will my photojet print white or do i need to put a dark border around my words and art work so that it will show up since the transfer paper is already white?
Hi, no Inkjet printer has white inks. The dark transfer paper is white, so any non printed areas will appear white, though slightly plastic looking. Would it work if the shirt has front pockets? The picture would have to go on the shirt and the front pocket section.
Hi, It can go anywhere on the shirt provided the fabric can withstand ironing. Though sold in A4 size, you can cut to size and transfer a smaller section, for example to cover the pocket area. Do you think it would have any problem transferring since it would have to go through that bump?
Hi, you can email us sales photopaperdirect. It will help ensure we are talking about the same application, Thanks! Hi I printed a color image on light blue tshirt using light transfer paper.
The printed sheet had all colors fine. But when I transferred on the tshirt all colors have turned black! What could be reason?
The dark transfer paper is the only one suitable for dark fabrics, such as blue. Light transfer is only suitable for white, or cream colour fabrics. The result you see is the lack of background caused when light transfer paper is applied onto dark background fabric.
I suggest you you try using the dark transfer. If you are transferring small numbers at the moment, you can use an Iron instead over watts.
Otherwise you might need a smaller heat press. I hope this helps somewhat. You can use it again. Just make sure the printed area is covered with the silicon paper at the time of ironing to protect the Iron from the ink assuming we are talking about the light transfer paper. Thanks for a good question. Is silicon paper necessary to iron over the printed t shirt? The silicon paper helps push the print deeper into the fabric. It is an essential stage of the transfer process.
Should i iron it again or not? Hi, I need to know which paper was used — there will be different answers. Also Need to know if the ripping is happening immediately after the transfer process or later after washing or wearing the garment for a while. Hello, I ironed my white thing 1 transfer on a red t shirt I followed all instructions and the red t shirt bleed through the transfer. How can u fix this problem?
I need this for my daughters birthday party Saturday. Do I need dark or light transfer paper? And will I need to flip the images? Red colour t-shirts will benefit from the dark transfer. No need to mirror the image when printing on the dark transfer. Hi, so I forgot to print my image backwards silly me!
Hi Guys! May i know how to properly heat press a lacoste fabric Polo-shirts generally uses this kind of fabric. Hi, what heat and duration settings are you using? If the transfer is photo paper direct transfer, please let me know your order number to check the product you bought. Hi, I made a bunch of shirts using dark transfer paper.
The first time my husband wore one it ripped and peeled of the shirt. When we washed it to see if the rest would come off, most of it did. All the ink washed out as well. I wore one of mine to Disneyland last weekend and went on a water raft ride. When I got splashed, the black ink ran all over the shirt. My daughter wore her shirt for the first time and the design peeled entirely off when she changed to try on a different shirt.
All three of these shirts were done with different brands of transfer paper. We used a cookie sheet inside the shirts when ironing on.
What did we do wrong? This was our first try with dark shirts. Hi Lori, the situation you are describing is indicative of lack of heat not enough or insufficient ironing duration. What sort of iron are you using in terms of watts? I am unfamiliar with using cookie sheet inside the shirts, have you tried without?
We had it set on cotton and held it for 30 seconds on each section of the transfer. Hi, the iron must be w or higher. Iron for about 3 minutes For Images in A4 Size — for smaller images you can shorten the time roughly in proportion. What are the fabrics to use for the following transfer paper : light transfer using pigment ink , dark transfer using pigment ink , and sublimation paper transfer using sublimation ink.
Also, I want to try to use transfer papers in printing on pillow cases, if you have any idea what type of fabric that this would work? Thank you and God bless. As long as they do not melt under a hot Iron, the process will work. I did transfer a photo using jet ss transfer paper but the photo is too blurry?
I use a ordinary ink. Hi, is the image blurred after transfer onto the shirt or after printing on the paper and before you transfer onto the shirt? Hi, These are bold colours on which the dark transfer works best. You nay get away with using the light transfer provided the design fills the entire area of the transfer. Using the dark transfer is safer.
How do you stop transferpaper crumbling and spliting the picture when the tshirts printed? Cause i am having difficulty with that. Hi Cass, on what surface are you ironing on?
Sounds like an uneven surface to me, possible a towel? It would help to see a picture of the outcome you get. My letters keep cracking!!! What am i doing wrong. Hi, there are a few possible reasons. Need your help! I bought a light transfer. I printed my thing 2 template and it came out great. But when I peeled the backing and place it on the shirt it looks great, but the gray of the shirt went through.

Wondering if I would be able to print the image onto two sheets of heat transfer and iron them together as one piece on the shirt? Thanks for any help you can give! Hi, have just got into this fascinating hobby. I bought one packet of white t shirt transfers and one packet of dark.
The dark t shirts have been coming out fine. The White t shirts have been different however. What is the power of the Iron you are using? What is the size of the image and how long were you ironing for? Hi Joseph, the iron is a Bosch sensixx B2 w max. The image was A4 so I gave it nearly 3 minutes as instructions advised.
Thanks in advance….. I cannot see anything wrong with this process, assuming the Iron is set to maximum heat. There should be no cracking. Is it possible to see a picture of the result? The only other thing I could think it might be was peeling the backing off too quickly. Do you recommend cold peeling or getting it off when still warm? Hey, me and my friend have been tie dying t shirts and been putting pictures on them. Our problem is that the image comes out fine on the t shirts, but the tie dye around the image has come out a weird colour, its like burnt a little bit!
Hi, I do not know what chemical or dye is used in the process. The Iron clearly affects it and causes a discolouration. I wonder what will happen if you make the transfer first and then apply the dye — It is regrettably the only suggestion I can come up with as there is no knowledge base on transfer paper and its use with fabric Dyes.
I followed all the instructions carefully. All looked great till I fixed the Image. Prior to fixing Image was clear, plasticky and shiny. Most of the Image is stuck to the supplied silicon paper. What went wrong and how can I sort this? When peeling cold and finishing the image with a gloss finish, there is no fixing required. Fixing is done when the image is peeled hot and the finish is matt.
In that case, fixing pushes the image further into the shirt making the resulting print softer to the feel and better performing in the washing machine. It is highly recommended for T Shirts that you peel hot and finish in matt. Gloss finish images peeled cold will not last as long. Good question. This will give you a perfect print.

The kind of fabric you are printing on will also affect the end product of your material. As we all know, it is not every fabric that we apply heat on. And from the name, heat press actually uses heat. So when working using this, it is crucial to avoid any fabric that is not heat-compatible.
These include most synthetic materials. Cotton, spandex, and polyester are suitable alternatives.

Accordingly, there are other variations whose use is dependent on the type of printer and method used. Some of them are:. Once you have chosen a machine, fabric, and transfer paper, you have to make your graphics.
The graphics include the image, artwork , writing, logo, or any other thing you want to print on the shirt. For this, you will need a computer and the appropriate software. This software will allow you to play with designs until you are satisfied with one. The most common ones are the Adobe illustrator and Corel-draw software. If you do not have a computer, the software or time, there are freelancers or graphic designers that you can pay to make the graphics for you. Now, you have to get your transfer paper ready.
You just have to ensure that you print the design on the coated side of the paper. From the outcome of the printing, you will be able to tell if the color is right or if you will need to adjust that. If you make any mistakes, keep printing until you get the perfect outcome on paper. If you have an inkjet printer, this paper is just what you need for all the custom creations you can imagine.
