Review: Saved A Project Online T Shirt Printers Could Not Handle - Problem: third grader wanted to do a piano/singing tribute to Bowie, and online printers would not print the design sought due to copy right, though we had modified some of the graphics. Their position was understood. Then I discovered the Avery transfer paper. I bought both the dark and the light color transfer papers not knowing which the little guy would prefer at the end. Here is the upshot, working with both the light and dark paper: • Wash and dryer dry your t shirt/fabric first. A shrunk fabric works best • the more time you spend prepping and the closer you follow the instructions the better your end product • don't be afraid of force (pushing down) and heat • Trimming the extra paper on the light paper minimizing areas that will be clear but somewhat glossy • Trimming the extra areas on the dark paper avoids transferring the color white to the fabric • Through trial and error I figured out it is better to avoid sharp corners to make them round, reducing the risk of corners peeling off • The side of the paper you print on is the white side for both dark and light paper, so make sure you know how to load the paper in your inkjet printer • Your final print area can be larger than a sheet as you can cut images/words from the paper and space them or use them elsewhere on the shirt (for instance, arm badges can be printed in a corner of the same sheet) Trick: • To avoid damage to the reverse side graphics, if you do a front/back design, use a large cutting board or a piece of flat wood slide it in the t-shirt that way the wood sits between the front and back. This also solves the issue of both sides of the t-shirt not being perfectly flat/ironed before you start Light Color Paper: • You need to print in reverse as the image is reflected back on the fabric. I used Powerpoint and flipped the images and writing and avoided the online Avery tool for doing so • As mentioned before, you don't have to cut very precisely as you only leave behind gloss/clear where you don't trim Dark Color Paper: • You DO NOT need to print in reverse • You need peel of the printed paper BEFORE initiating transfer with an iron -I wasted one sheet not bing careful • The portion you don't trim transfer as white and you can create a border, rough or smooth, as I did with the front of the dark t shirt • Peeling the transfer portion from the t shirt before ironing is difficult....I used tweezers and eventually I managed to peel off the backing • You use an included parchment paper over the peeled paper to press the image onto the fabric Final Impressions: • Don't expect professional grade printing • Recognize these are not permanent and are intended for fun and event needs • Mistakes and rough edges on my work is my own haste getting in the way This met my needs, to have a front/back t-shirt design on both dark and white t-shirts, using the appropriate paper for each color. **** UPDATE ***** Both the white and black t shirts have been washed about 15 times each by now. And, they still look very nice.
Review: Forgot to order my son's birthday shirt: Avery Transfers to the rescue! - These things are pretty amazing. This is how I stumbled upon them: I dropped the ball on making a special birthday t-shirt for for my son to wear on his birthday. I spent a bunch of time designing a shirt on a website, went to check out, and then I discovered it would not have arrived in time for the big day. Then I started browsing around websites for local print design companies, but taking into account the additional fees for the rush job, I was looking at something like $40 for a customized t-shirt for my son to wear. That seemed like an awful lot of money to spend on something that he would wear for a few hours. I ended up ordering Avery iron-on transfers from desertcart. Once again, desertcart Prime to the rescue. How the iron on transfers work: You go on their website to design whatever you want on your shirt (or tote bag, pillowcase, or whatever). You can import any photo or graphic, and you have a lot of freedom as far as image and text placement, colors, etc. Then you print the image on your inkjet printer and iron it on. It was super simple, and it turned out great. Although, I have to warn you: do not do it on a wood table. Or if you do, make sure to place sufficient buffer materials between your t-shirt and the table. I have a nice rectangular mark that appears to be a mixture of glue and fabric fibers that don't appear to be going anywhere soon. But this seems more like user error than the fault of the product itself which is why I kept the rating at 5 stars. Just be careful when you make yours. The package has 12 sheets in it and cost about $12. I bought a plain white t-shirt for $5 from a local big box store. So all in, I paid about $6 for my son's birthday shirt! I think I was looking at around $22 if I had ordered online from the first store I was looking at (more from local printing shops), and this way I was able to customize the whole thing top to bottom and use any image I wanted. Overall, I was really impressed with the quality and ease of use of the transfers. The program that you use to design the graphic is really fantastic and user friendly. It only took a few minutes to figure out, and it really gives you a lot of design options. The colors came out very crisp and clear. I recommend that you read the instructions very carefully, and if you follow them exactly, you're sure to have great results.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent results!
*by C***R on July 24, 2025*

Very pleased with this product and with the price. Beautiful transfers using the Cricut mini iron. You just need to be sure the edges are very well adhered. I used a wooden art canvas from Hobby Lobby behind the material and that worked very well. And don’t forget to mirror print if you have writing or anything that would look odd reversed. Next time I will buy the dark fabric transfers that I have discovered can be used on either light or dark fabrics. I haven’t washed any of my projects yet but other reviews have said they wash well.
