1 What a joke
I bought these because I have an HP printer and figured they would be best for the shirts I want to make. I couldn't get them to take for anything in the world. I put the pressure on it, ironed them longer, everything you can think of and they still wouldn't take. Then when I finally got one to take it completely cracked and crumbled and started peeling off before an hour was up. It never made it to the wash, so now I am out the money I paid for them and still have no shirts. Any other brands you suggest instead?
2 The quality is really better!
I have tried both the HP paper and the Office Depot paper, and the HP paper sure has better quality.
Both of them were done with the same steps, and it ends up that Office Depot one started to come off after 1st or 2nd wash, while the HP one is still on there without a scratch.
Also, HP paper fits more to the fabric, which it will be harder to see it was an "iron-on", but the Office Depot one was very obvious.
I will give two thumbs up for the HP paper!
3 Iron-ons for shirts
I did a little more than the directions outline. I took longer with the ironing. I took 5 minutes to iron the items on. I pushed down hard when I did the ironing. My black and white iron on washed well. I washed the item inside out in the cold water. Dried it on gentle cycle and it came out fine. I just don't know how it will turn out after several washings. Let the printing completely dry before ironing it on. Take your time on ironing them. Take your time letting the iron on cool before peeling the paper off. It should work.
4 Don't even bother...
They're easy to use & they look great right up until you wash them the first time. Light t-shirt transfers crack & peel something awful, I've never known one to last more than one wearing.
If you're going to make a t-shirt, get the kind that says DARK t-shirt transfers. I've got a closet full of Office Depot & Avery brand Dark t-shirt transfers (many transfered onto white shirts) that look great and I wear them every weekend. It costs a little more, but they actually work, making it well worth the money.
5 hmmm....
Does anyone else think there are some bogus reviews above? One written with disarmingly innocent (yet contrived) grammar mistakes but attention to technical details and the other with Disney-esque image planting.
Hey, HP and Amazon - your customers aren't stupid! Thank yous to the honest reviewers. I'll probably buy this anyway just because I want to make my own crappy t-shirts
6 Easy to create / Easy to fade
It was easy to use and I had shirts with logos on them instantly, but some designs were cracking even before the first wash. All of them had cracking and were faded by the time I pulled them out of the washer. Cool concept, but HP has some work to do!
7 So frustrating!
Reading these reviews is so frustrating! How can some people say that they have washed the shirts 100 times and they still look as good as new, and others say the transfer came off after one washing?
8 Easy, Fast, and Long Lasting
Well, I have used this product with more than 100 t-shirt and I have no complains. After my 3 first big trials... a really mess... It is easy to transfer (once you get used with the process), it is a fast process, and the image stay for a long time on the fabric. Of course, the transfer will not last forever, but after 100+ washing cycles, all of my t-shirt still are in PERFECT condition. I use soft soap, and a soft washing machine cycle. The most important words here, are: VERY high temp iron (mine is one with 1400 watts), very VERY high pressure when ironing (I sweat a lot in this process) and the fabric must be as flat and firm as possible (porous fabrics are not the best, as well as stretching ones like cotton-lycra are not a good option because when stretching, the image breaks).
One last note: it is for white fabric. If you try it over other color, the image's colors will be different from intended. If the fabic is dark colored, you will not see anything after trasferring. This is because the WHITE color of the image after ironing comes from the fabric, so if within the image are white and shiny teeth, and the fabric is dark, the teeth will be black, as well as all the other light colors of the images.
9 Excited at the concept, disappointed at the result
Easy to use and iron on. Looks great!! But that is before you wash it. If you intend to use more than once, forget it. We followed directions perfectly and the shirt was still ruined.
10 Easy and Simple
If you can print on to a piece of paper, you can print on to these sheets. I scanned a picture from my son's favorite book, (but you could easily use a photograph or any downloaded picture you have) I then printed it on to the transfer paper, then simply ironed it onto a white t-shirt (you have apply pressure, but not difficult at all!). Now he can wear his favorite dragon where ever he goes.
This would work well with company logos for corporate shirts or giveaways as well.
11 HP Iron-On transfers
I tried the iron-on transfer paper in my HP Deskjet 970 printer. I ironed my design onto a 50/50 cotton T-shirt. It says you can machine wash these iron-ons, but when I did so, the iron-on design fell to pieces in my washing machine. It was a major mess to clean up my machine...And yes, I did wash it in cold water as instructed...
12 They work
Follow the included instructions, especially the cold water one and they won't crack. I've had some shirts for more than 100 washings, they crack less than my mass produced t shirts.
13 Waste of Time
We've used three iron-ons. The first two faded and cracked after only a couple of washings and the third one did not transfer well at all. We're planning to throw the rest away and start with another brand of paper.

15 Never works for me
The pictures usually crack by the first washing. (Definitely by the 3rd or 4th)
