The Avery Dark T-Shirt InkJet Iron-On Transfers are a very cool product useful for putting your images on dark material where regular transfers will not work. Saddly, don't expect to use the whole page for your design. These perform exactly as expected, with great image quality and no problems feeding through my printer, right up to the point where you attempt to peel the backing off before ironing on the transfer. I spent a good 1/2 hour trying to remove the backing, using every trick possible before resorting to making a "small" rip (as the instructions suggest) to get it started. This worked most of the time, but it means that you can't use the whole sheet since you have to rip it to remove the backing. We learned to only print about 3/4 of the page to give us plenty of ripping space. After you get the backing off, these iron on to your cotton material and really do look great. Be sure to read and follow the directions. I'll look for another brand, but will continue to use these if a better solution isn't out there.

i've spent the last 90 minutes trying to get the backing paper to come off before ironing my image on. as i have been attempting this with nails, knives, x-acto, etc, i have also smeared the images themselves. i changed my inkjet printer settings several times, looked on every message and review board i could find for advice and still...no luck. i printed and went through an entire package, and am now giving up and going to michaels to try something else.

Creating the transfer is easy--the instructions are simple to follow and they work. However, after the first wash (delicate cycle in a front-loader, cold water, hang to dry), the ink starts washing off and the edges start to become frayed. Also, the image itself starts to become crinkled! Maybe hand washing is what's needed but that's not something the instructions call for. In fact, it says you can machine wash & dry--clearly, you can't.
