Epson S041153 Iron-on Cool Transfer Paper

I've made several shirts with the Epson paper and the results are very good. Other reviewers have had problems using the transfers with non Epson printers and inks but if you stick with Epson products and follow the directions, the shirts come out great. Remember to be patient (the ironing process takes a while), trim the excess transfer paper around your design and you should be ok. Each of the shirts I've made has washed well (remember to wash them inside out to protect the transfer) with little obvious wear. Also, I got slightly better results bumping my printer resolution up to 720dpi and printing for quality rather than speed. Good luck!

This is a good product. It can get scorch easily if you get impaient. Make sure you use a pressing cloth. Over all the colors and design transfered well onto the shirt.

I am making a bunch of t-shirts for my son's birthday. Epson is the first brand I used and Avery is the second brand. I've never done iron-ons before this.

Avery has much brighter colors but it feels more waxy, which I'm not sure will disappear with washing. Epson has duller colors but the less waxy feel is a plus. After washing, it feels even more softer and I don't notice right off that it's an iron-on.

After washing, the Epson image is a little faded, but it's not cracked or anything. I'm sure if we had followed washing instructions, the colors would probably be more nicely preserved, but we are too lazy for that.

My husband wants me to make him a bunch of shirts now, so I'd say he is impressed enough.

A simple identification mark on the ironable side would make this product so much more user friendly. I also have a messed up iron and two wasted transfers. None of these iron-on transfer brands are inexpensive products so I recommend that you cut off a piece of the transfer paper, put a mark on it and practice first with some old fabric to see which side is ironable. I have a bottom printer tray and followed their instructions re: cut corner placed appropriately and that was not the correct side.

Step.3 ...insert transfer paper with the blank side (printable surface) loaded correctly.

Boths sides are blank. I found out the hard way and melted the film on the iron which is now useless.

TIP: glossy side is the printable side
