I am using the Iron all transfer paper for whites (jet flex), I peel it cold after I press I notice the white part of the images is flaking away looks like dandruff. Is there a method to peel off , or do I need to put more pressure to my press. if so How much pressure? any other advice to will be appreciated.

thanks

See if any of that helps. If it doesn't it could be your press, your shirt, or a bad batch of paper is always possible... but first, try that link to see if there is something you can tweak in your pressing procedure to fix it... it's the cheapest and fastest way to try to solve the problem. Good luck to you.

I have tried different procedures with The JPSS transfer paper shows crack when stretched, do you think I got a bad batch of papers, My first time testing it. I heard people saying it does not crack when you stretch it.

Those directions in the link will work with Ironall paper, too. I believe, if I remember right, I used to press Ironall at 350*F for 30 seconds, that's the only difference in directions in that link.

Yes, peeling hot, and stretching the image really helps keep JPSS paper from cracking. Not all people stretch the shirt. Of those people that don't stretch the shirt, not everyone has cracking either. It just happens to some people.

Another time that JPSS paper can crack is when it is cold peeled, and not reheated and stretched after peeling. For a cold peel, you pretty much *always* have to re-heat and stretch, or tests have shown JPSS will very likely crack in the first wash. If cold peeling , reheat and stretch after peeling.

If hot peeling, and you don't get cracking you are fine, good to go. If hot peeling and you do get cracking, stretch the image area after the hot peel and repress with something over top, like teflon or parchment paper.

I like the parchment paper with JPSS because I find that it gives JPSS a much smoother finish that using teflon or no second press.

I actually stretch the shirt *prior* to my pre-press to remove moisture, I hot peel, I restretch the image area while the JPSS is still hot/warm, and the re-press... I've not had any cracking on Gildan's, Hanes, Jerzees, or sweatshirts.

Hopefully stretching will work for you, too.

The original post is almost three years old. I'd just like to add that I purchased IronAll (light) and JPSS transfers in the last few weeks. I didn't notice any difference in the quality of the transfer (pre-wash, that is...that's as far as I've gone), but there was a very pesky problem with flaking with the IronAll (which I only purchased a few weeks ago). As a result, I will not use IronAll light again. In the cutter it sometimes flaked, it flaked too easily in the weeding, and it flaked too easily just handling the printed transfers.
