We lost our source for the opaque paper that we were carrying, so we had to find a new source. Companies came out of the woodwork sending us samples, which we dutifully tested. The result? Papers for similar prices as our old one were just not as good and we knew our customers would be unhappy. Normally we try to be very competitive with our prices too, so it pained us to get samples of one that was going to be more expensive. But we put it through its paces anyway. Our transfer paper expert came back from the "lab" with sparkles in her eyes. "This is the best one I've ever tried! Try picking at the corners! It's softer than our old stuff too, and it doesn't come up at all!" Unlike all the other opaque papers we tested, this one lasted through numerous washes without cracking and peeling, and with no noticeable color loss! So yes, we had to raise our price, but we thought it was worth it for such good quality. We want you to not hesitate to try it, though, so at least for now, we actually lowered the price of the basic 10 pack of 8.5x11". So sample it! We think you will like it!
This product is your first choice for transferring images onto dark fabrics. Take any image on your computer, print it on this paper with your inkjet printer, then press the image onto a pre-shrunk shirt or other clothing item and voilla! Unlike our basic transfer paper, Opaque paper always works much better with our great new discounted heat presses, so if you are in production, we highly recommend you get a press! It could change your life! Easy and lots of fun! This paper requires lots of heat and pressure, and home irons just don't do it very well.
Allows you to put white or color images on black or dark fabrics and not have the fabric show through. (Our other
Inkjet Transfer Paper allows the fabric color to show through the blank or light areas of your image.) This paper has an opaque white background so nothing shows through. Any area of your image that is not printed upon will remain white. Therefore, it's best to trim your print close to the image if you don't want a white background or border. Works great on all of our
black stuff.
Please note that transfer paper DOES have a shelf life; it lasts about 6 months depending upon storage. It must be kept sealed in its plastic bag. High humidity or dry conditions can shorten its shelf life.
