Summary: good product overall
Review: I finished my first tshirt using the Epson product today. Unlike some reviews I had read, your first attempt need not be an "experiment". Just follow the instructions provided and be sure you understand how to load the product into your printer.

The colors are somewhat muted and the white tshirt does seem to show within the pattern to some degree. It will not produce the equivalent of a silk-screen process, but the end product is reasonably good given the price.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Solid product that requires attention to the instructions

Review: i just wanted to add that in addition to what everyone has said already, beware that this product rips easily. if you stretch the shirt a little, then your design will become ripped. you also want to do a practice iron on an old shirt just to get acquainted with what part you peal off. hope this helps.

Summary: The best on the market
Review: I make dozens of t-shirts and tested 4 other brands like Invent-it, Zerox, etc... and by far the Epson brand work the best. I have washed the same shirt 30+ times already and the image looks just as good as when I first made the t-shirt.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent color transfer
Review: I need to put images and text on three t-shirts, and having an Epson Photo 890 printer, I naturally ordered the Epson iron-on transfer paper. I was surprised at the color quality of the image transfer - it's really good. For the text, I had to be sure to flip it horizntally before I printed it, so that it wouldn't be backwards on the shirt. I forgot once, but luckily it was on a practice shirt. Overall, I'm happy with the results, and I'll bet when we wear the shirts for an upcoming event, people will be surprised I did it myself.

Summary: A Review of Iron-On Transfer Paper? I must be bored :-)
Review: I've only tried a few different brands of Iron-On Transfer paper, (so far Avery, HP and Epson) and I can say that this one works rather well. The ability to peel the transfer paper backing off the shirt when it's cool works better than another brand of paper in which you have to peel the backing when it's still warm.

I see two drawbacks and both are minor but significant:

1) The backing of the paper is blank/white just like the front and it's almost impossible to tell which side is the one that you want to print on. One corner of the paper is cut off to tell you the orientation and Epson only has directions for their printer. Basically, if your printer feeds from the bottom, you orient it one way, but... if your printer feeds from the top, it's a different ball game. They tell you this on their website. Other brands of transfer paper have faded words on their paper to tell you which is the back.

2) Epson only provides the clear/white paper. If you try this on any dark colored shirt, you will see the iron-on transfer clearly and it doesn't look good. They mention it in one sentence in the instructions.

That's my 2 cents,

Victor

Review: The print itself looks great, but when you cut it out and iron it on your white t-shirt, you can see the white background and it looks pretty amateurish. It also has a rather slick feel to it, but I guess most transfers do. It probably wouldnt look very good at all on a t-shirt other than white. But for a quick way to make one or a few custom t-shirts, its very easy, and will get ok results. Try it out, but use a new, white t-shirt.
