5.0 out of 5 stars You must try the new and improved ones, September 24, 2009

This review is from: Avery T-Shirt Transfers for Inkjet Printers, 8.5 x 11 Inches, Pack of 12 (03275) (Office Product)

They have a sticker on the packages saying the colors are brighter and they won't crack. I tried those first and they are beautiful. I bought some more, but they didn't have the sticker on them. Those must be what everyone here is reviewing. The old ones are indeed waxy with okay colors. I hope they don't peel like everyone says. But those improved ones are wonderful - brilliant colors and nice feel, not waxy at all. Trust me, there is a difference. I haven't washed the new improved ones yet, but they do look like they are durable and will withstand the wash. Wish there was a way to tell if the package we are getting from Amazon is new or old. I think the stock number is the same.

UPDATE: It has been an entire year since I've done some thirty or so transfers using various brands. Those new and improved Avery transfers are the best. One year later, through repeated washings, the new and improved ones still look bright and beautiful. The others are old and faded. Look carefully on the package. If they are new and improved Avery, that's the one you want.

This review is from: Avery T-Shirt Transfers for Inkjet Printers, 8.5 x 11 Inches, Pack of 12 (03275) (Office Product)

It seems to me that what transfer paper tries to accomplish is pretty remarkable: a relatively easy way for people who do not have special equipment or skills to print their own images on fabric. In the past, transferring a design to fabric could be accomplished by silk screen (messy, complicated, and sometimes very expensive), by embroidery (needs a pretty well developed skill set and a *lot* of patience), by painting directly on the fabric with fabric paint (okay, how many of us are painters and able to create to our satisfaction the image of our pet or a favorite landscape as well as we can accomplish this digitally?), or by other more time consuming or skill-intensive means.

None of the methods mentioned are dummy-proof (I say this as a first rate crafts dummy, myself). In other words, the results are as likely to be disappointing as not. Unsurprisingly, for a number of reasons this is true of transfer paper, as well.

First, the image you see on your computer monitor is very likely not the image you'll be able to replicate exactly on fabric. There are several reasons for this. First, you might already notice that the colors in your photos don't print exactly as they appear on the monitor. If this is true, the calibration is off. Ways of addressing this differ, but put "color calibration" into a search engine.

Second, I get better results by making the image darker than for printing on photo or ordinary paper. I think this might be in part because...

Third, it has begun to seem doubtful that an ordinary iron can maintain temperatures hot enough to transfer the image fully, especially if the colors are supposed to be dark, deeply saturated, or bright. Although our iron can be set to very hot temperatures (ouch! ouch!), the iron is not in continuous contact with all of the image at once. Consequently, sometimes there is a little trouble with the image rippling and thus shifting a little. In the repeated passes that must be made with the iron, I suspect that the iron does not remain hot enough. Related to this, I think, is that the times proposed by the manufacturer for heating the transfer have not been long enough, sometimes by a factor of two or three.

So these are all reasons that one could say the product doesn't work well. Still, for me it represents an interesting way of printing my own design on fabric. Mostly, I haven't the patience or skills for other ways and for reliable results, I believe the better choice would be use the services of someone who has professional equipment and skill. But I really do enjoy experimenting, myself, to see what can be made.

For what the product is trying to do, it seems relatively inexpensive (though not cheap, by any means) to me. But the operative word really is "experimenting", because the results are by no means certain. I've knocked off a star because IMHO the manufacturer's blurb leads people to expect more than the product is at this point capable of delivering. It really is an experiment and I can't help feeling that folks would be less disgruntled if Avery were to dial back their description to one that is perhaps more realistic.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy product, save your money, June 10, 2004

This review is from: Avery T-Shirt Transfers for Inkjet Printers, 8.5 x 11 Inches, Pack of 12 (03275) (Office Product)

I tried several iron-ons. They go on easily enough, but crack almost immediately when you're wearing them. small or large; doesn't matter the size. I followed the directions carefully and even timed the ironing down to the second. Does't matter--they crack! JUNK, and a waste of money. Now I have ruined T's. One shirt I actually washed--it was ruined anyway--and the stuff flaked off in the washer. Same thing happens to HP transfers, according to the reviews. It could be the ink in the printers aren't compatible? Reason why some are okay and some not? Don't know but they need to put that on the package to warn people!
