Hello All,
I have been reading many threads on here during the last week or so. I am in the process of creating dark transfers (black) t-shirts for my Landscape business. I tried using Avery Dark Transfer paper, but the results were not the quality I was hoping for. I do not own a heat press so I had to use the iron. Basically, I am fed up with transfer paper and decided to go the cotton fabric transfer sheet method instead. Does anyone have any experience with this method?
I bought Easyimage Fabric Transfers 100% cotton at Micheals. It already has the adhesive backing so its ready for ironing. I also bought Aleene's Stop Fraying glue to prevent the trims and ends from fraying. I currently have a HP 6110XI printer, but am looking at a few Epson models. Before I buy an epson I need to know if it will be safe to use these fabric sheets in it? I already checked with HP and I can safely use them with my current printer. Lou any input?
Part of the reason I went with the cotton transfers was because I can repeatedly wash the shirts in warm water and dry them on medium heat without worrying about the ink bleeding, cracking, or peeling. I can also add more glue to the cotton if for some reason it starts to peal unlike transfer paper. I guess I am looking for feedback from people who have utilized this method and if they have any tips to offer.
