Default Avoid shiny lokk on tee shirt

How can I avoid a shiny finish to my tee shirt? I feels like a plastic shirt I am using a heat press at 375 degrees for ten seconds. I tried a longer time but it looked even shinier. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Avery makes paper primarily for hobbyists using hand irons. Avery is rubbery to begin with and then you also be sure you are using the correct type (for light color shirts or dark color shirts). I personally like New Milford Photo Iron All because it stretches and is a lot more forgiving on ribbed shirts. But do search the Forum because I do know others have their own personal favorites. You'll have to try out a few to find what works best for you.
