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!

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

This product is easy to use and works very well. I copied pictures of our dog and put them on t-shirts just for fun, and found the process very simple. They wash up well and if you follow the directions (i.e. turn inside out to wash,remove immediately and then simply place in the dryer) there was no problem. I will definitely use again.

These transfer are really a lot more than what I expected. Although the instructions are guided for home iron print; in a professional heat transfer press, heating at 375 Farenheit for 20 seconds with medium hard pressure gives me great results. I strongly recomend this.

I've tried these transfers several times on several different types of fabrics and they simply do not work. I've been disappointed every time, after following the directions to the letter. The image did not transfer no matter how hot the iron and how much pressure I applied. Ruined a couple t-shirts in the process.

Also, hp printing software will flip the image horizontally when you select "iron-on transfer" in printing properties, so if you have already flipped your image in the document, when you print onto the transfer paper the image will have flipped BACK without warning. I wasted several sheets of this paper dealing with that problem.

I have made adorable tees and aprons for the whole family with these transfers. Easy instructions!

The HP Iron-on for Color Fabrics is an easy to use product. You just have to remember to cut along the lines and what you want will come out great. The instructions are included in with the product.
