Funny title you may think, for a review on T Shirt Transfers. All will beome clear as the review progresses!!

I bought them from Wallis' Stationers in my home town but you can get from Staples, PC World, and all other places like that.

Without stating the obvious, they are sheets of paper which you can print onto , using an Inkjet printer. Most households have these nowadays. When you have printed your design, you simply iron it onto a T Shirt.

The sheets come in a stylish carboard envelope type packaging. The 'Epson Premium Quality' Logo is spread across the front oand back of the package. The majority of the packaging is white with a small band of navy blue at the top. It states that there are ten sheets measuring 210mm x 297mm or in other word, A4.

White or light coloured T Shirt or fabric whic are 100% cotton or at least 50% cotton mix.

Do not use in Laser printers or copiers as the paper will damage the machine!

You can design you r transfer on any package you normally use. Personally I use Ulead PhotoImpact 5 but there are many better ones. Simply design your transfer and go to print. Ensure it will fit onto your desired garment.

This option is ususally on the print options page. It is just a little box to check.

Load the transfer sheet white side up and only load one page at a time to ensure success. Whent he printer does beginto print, hold it by one edge to ensure it loads into the printer straight.

To transfer the image, heat the iron to around 180 - 200 degrees Centigrade. Cordless irons are not recommended for use with these transfers as they tend to cool too quickly and do not to transfer the image to a high quality.

Place the transfer on to the garment in the correct position and apply the iron in a steady pressure and hold for around ten seconds. Then work around the garment, along all the edges to ensure the transfer has stuck.

To care for your transferred garment, you should was in cold water ideally without fabric conditioner, but I have washed them in a cool wash in the machine and they are fine. I do try not to wringe them too much as this may cause the transfer to crack and peel. But it is inevitable that this will happen eventually. It does on the most expensive items of clothing!

Okay, do you wnat to see what I made with my transfer sheet? Well, I have added a picture so you can see. I took the picture on my Digicam on a recent visit to Flamingo Land. It is of a Chimpanzee, picking his nose. We added 'Zach's Best Friend' to beneath the picture and, voila, a new T Shirt!!
