Hi, I'm thinking of transferring a photo of a singer onto a t-shirt for a concert I'm going to next month. Only worry is that the design will look rigid and shiny like it has before when I've used iron on transfer paper. Is there paper I can buy that won't appear shiny? Or is there a business that will transfer the photo for me without it being 'plasticky'?

Many thanks!

what transfer paper are you using now and do you have a heat press or are you pressing with a home iron.

I'm using a normal clothes iron, and the paper is 'Dylon Image Maker Inkjet Transfer Paper'.

Most of the papers that I would suggest are commercial grade papers and you will need a heat press as an iron won't do. Not enough heat, and not enough pressure.

Never heard of that paper but you could try JPSS (Jet-pro soft stretch), they say it can be used with a hand iron, but personally I have never tried that so can't tell you the results.
