This is aweful

This stuff is so expensive and I got one shirt to turn out decent out of 2 boxes. You can't peel the backing off the iron-on even though is states on the box iron-on will not tear....the whole thing rips and when you put it on with the iron, hottest setting like it calls for it burns and leaves iron marks all over the garment. I ruined 3 shirts with this useless product. Never again will I use the Avery product for crafts. $70.00 in T shirts and the cost of this product X 2 and I get one lousy shirt
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works well

I really like this product it works extremely well and the transfer holds up well against wash and wear. The only con is peeling the darn back off the transfer paper. My goodness that is nearly impossible to get off!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Backing that Never comes off

Wow - this ia the worst product I have ever purchased from Avery. We have spent the last two hours between three people trying to peel away the transfer. We have read the directions and tried the tricks which Avery recommends which is tearing from tehback. The transfer is supposed to stretch while the paper tears....this unfortunately is not the case. I am going to try another manufacturer. This product needs to be pulled and fixed prior to selling to to consumers.

Work well, but backing hard to remove

I used the Dark T-Shirt Transfers for our American Cancer Society Walk/Run team. They print well, but it takes me longer to remove the backing than it does to iron the transfer on the shirt! Avery needs to put scoring on the back (like they do with their full sheet labels) for easy removal of the backing. It took me almost 3 hours to do 11 shirts -- more than half of that time was spent getting the backing off. Other than that, as long as the directions are followed, I think they work well.

The best I've used

I use this product for every single custom designed shirt I make. I've used the light version as well, but it doesn't provide as soft of an end product. The transfers are soft and pliable making it less prone to cracking. The directions are in black and white. Just follow the directions for the Dark TShirt Transfers and everything turns out great. One big tip: do not select Tshirt Transfer on your printer's settings. You want it to print out just as you would a regular piece of paper. The reason is that you peel off the backing paper, and iron it with the printed side up versus printed side down. Keep in mind, whatever is not printed will stay white. But don't fret, just cut if away This is a must buy! (I am a very picky person, and this passes with flying colors)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worst Purchase Ever
on December 10, 2010

This product is very expensive, my pack didn't have instructions with it, and it didn't work. I have been transferring pictures for a long time, and I thought I might try this brand. Never again will I buy from Avery. I guess you are supposed to print on the side with the writing, which seems very stupid being it's not like that with any other brand. I drove an hour away so I could get my pictures printed on this transfer paper, got home, and I tried to iron on them to fabric. The back wouldn't come off, and when it did it was on the fabric backward. It had the picture covered by the fabric. I have been doing photo quilts for 10 years and I have never had this problem. I spent $100 on a few packages of this paper and I am furious because it was a waste of money. I would never recommend this product to anyone else. If you are thinking of buying this product, don't. It's not worth the time, grief, or money.

Don't Change
on January 29, 2010
Posted by: UFOman
from Undisclosed
Things have changed and it shouldn't. Dark t-shirt transfer and dark fabric transfer are 2 different things. The dark fabric transfer is thicker, less vibrance of color(loss of deep, true colors especially), less SHINE, black is shallow/dull/not fully black. Instructions are misleading. Firm pressure ruins it which i finally learned over a 4 yr. period. After slowly running the iron w/it's own weight, barely put any extra weight for the 1st run, then with ONLY twice that amount of pressure for another, final run. The dark t-shirt transfers produce vivid, true colors with a solid black

Used these to make a set of four t-shirts for a team race. Put our logo on the back and everyone's name on the front chest too. Followed the directions exactly and they turned out perfect! Wash well too! Thanks Avery!
