Hey Guys,
I bought inkjet iron all light transfer papers from newmilford early this year, however, the image does not transfer well. I have already followed strictly the procedures accompanying the papers but the best that I was able to transfer are like faded images or just outlines on the t-shirts using a heat press(375 degrees, 25-30 seconds, medium to hard pressure), cold and hot peel. Is there something wrong with the paper or somewhere, whatever?
I also tried using a flat iron to no avail.
Please anybody help me, I bought a lot of the iron all papers, 10,000 sheets of them. I will appreciate any kind of good advise from anybody regarding my problem. Thanks

Wow, that is terrible. I've used Ironall but didn't get results like these. Ironall prints beautifully, and presses beautifully. The problem with Ironall comes into play when you put it in the washer. It can fade, and depending on the shirt, that fade can be from none to terrible and it even can fade in just areas of a transfer.
Okay, first let's try to make sure you received Ironall. Ironall is blue/green on the back. Is your paper blue/green?
You're results sound like what I got when I tried the self weed paper from China. I used pigment ink with the paper, and it says it is best used with dye sub ink.
Do you have pics of your shirts to show, and please check the back of your paper for the blue'ish color.
Other than that: what printer, ink and shirt fabric (cotton? cotton/poly?) did you press onto?

Thanks Kelly, Initially, the manufacturer, Hyatt said it is environmental, either during shipping or storage, humidities must have affected the chemistries of the papers. Nevertheless, Hyatt should have warned new milford who inturn should have properly warned also their clients of the unique properties of the iron all papers. New milford stated that they have received the same complaints from their other
clients. Apparently and I presume, the iron all paper has a very short expiry period compared to the other types of papers that I store in the same storage room; I have red and blue grid of Arkwright and jetpro softstretch as well and I have not experienced the same bad situation(either in shipping and storage) on these papers.
Would it be right if I demand full refund of my $3,700.00 from new milford? Thanks.
Hi, I received the iron all papers last February 2008. They are wrapped in transparent plastic sheets in 100 and 50 sheets then packed 250 sheets per brown cartoon box. I stored them together with my red and blue grid, and jetpro softstretch transfer papers also bought from new milford; these transfer papers were stored August of last year up to the present. I distribute them to about 100 branches of books and stationeries stores and I have not received any single complaint so far. Then this problem with iron all papers cropped up. I have been changing the iron all papers I have sold to my clients with the red grid and soft stretch absorbing losses.
Would it be proper to demand full refund of my $3,700.00 from new milford because of its failure to disclose needed information (regarding shipping and storage) on the products they sold me?
I would suggest you contact them directly. I feel any time you have an issue with service or a product, it is fair and wise to give the supplier a chance to speak for themselves and have a chance to make the situation right.
I am sorry to hear of the troubles you are having with this paper and hope you and the supplier can work out a fair agreement to your liking. Good luck to you.

Thanks for your advise. I have already contacted New milford and sent yesterday thru DHL the manufacturer Hyatt Innovative Solutions, Inc samples of the iron all paper for analysis. Initially, Hyatt stated that "shipping and storage must have affected the chemistries of the paper". Will keep you posted on their further response. Thanks again.
