Epson S041153 Iron-on Cool Transfer Paper

I am a teacher and constantly teaching students to make t-shirts. These Epson transfers last the best. It's true though, Epson, PLEASE put type on the side not to print on, it woud make these absolutely perfect.

3 hints: (a) trim the edges so there is a quarter of an inch of white around the design, it looks a lot less dorky; do not trim right to edge, they will peel too easily
(b) you can use a light grey or pastel color with these, as long as you trim the edges it is barely noticeable
(c) turn the shirt inside out when washing and drying, they last longer

Have fun!

We bought Epson not knowing about the HP or Avery products. The paper loading instructions are totally misleading and worthless and it's impossible to tell which side to print on since both are plain, white, and glossy. I'm sure they sell more paper that way at first, but folks reading these reviews should be prepared for confusion when it comes to knowing which way to load the paper. And at $1/sheet the education process gets expensive. Also, although following instructions explicitly, it took a half hour to 'pick off' (using fingernails) small bits of residue that remained on the material after pulling the main piece of paper off. The image looked good, but we have not stretched or washed the material and are somewhat apprehensive about that, given other reviewers experiences. But for a reasonably quick and special kind of project once in a while, Epson seems to work ok. We'll try HP next time though, since we use one of the higher end HP Photo Printers. Never had much luck with Epson printers.

I created a dinosaur cartoon and used this product to transfer it onto white t-shirts. The result was great! I found I had to use a "wool" setting on my iron & make only 3 shirts at a time or I had trouble with scorching & the image peeling. The image finish was matte, not shiny, which looked good & was not stiff to wear. Overall, I would use this product again. It was easy with good results.

I've used other transfers and this is the best one I've used. After the washing it still retains it's color and did not peel off. I'm so glad I bought this one.

I don't even own an iron (I had to borrow one) and I've never made a T-shirt before, but I had to make T-shirts for my whole Geography Bee team in a hurry. I ordered these express (thanks, Amazon, for getting my order to me immediately). They are notched in the corners so you know which way to put them in your printer. I forgot to turn on "mirror image" printing for my first print (oops). Then I got it right. I trimmed tight around the designs, used white T-shirts. Then I took my time ironing - following the directions (30 seconds EACH on each pass, up - down - and swirl around) - about 5 minutes total. I left a little handle and was able to peel off without incident. The T-shirts look AWESOME - just like on screen. They have survived a couple of washes just fine. This is the greatest thing since sliced bread!
