Default Which one is wrong,the transfer paper or printer?

I use dark transfer paper from Transfer Paper | Inkjet Paper | Inkjet T-Shirt Iron-On Heat Transfer Paper and I use laser printer Epson 1400 to print the paper. Recently I found the tshirt, after washing, have serious problems. Some will crack, some will fall out the tshirt. Can somebody tell me what is the problem? I need help!!!!!

When this happens it could be a variety of issues. It could be that there is to much heat that is burning the transfer. Also if you are using a laser printer to print your sheets that is another round that the sheet is being exposed to heat. Reduce your heat and test it out.

The Epson 1400 is an inkjet printer using claria inks. Do you have inkjet paper or laser paper?

Start with a good quality paper like Jet Pro Soft Stretch for lites. I dont do opaque but I think Iron All for darks is what most folks use.

I looked into the paper you talked about and this is inkjet paper used to print with a inkjet printer which you have both of. Make sure you are not adding to much heat to the paper first . . . then make sure ur are using even pressure.

The title of this thread is "Laser 1 Opaque". Is that really the brand of transfer that you have? Laser 1 opaque as the name implies is for laser printer. Epson 1400 is an inkjet printer.
