Dark 3.0 Heat Transfer Paper

As the Co-Founder of Race To Grace, a Southern California nonprofit, we’re always looking for ways to make every interaction with our community meaningful. Our organization serves free ice cream while creating opportunities for conversation, encouragement, and prayer. Nearly every volunteer hat, shirt, and piece of outreach apparel we wear represents our mission, so finding products we can trust is incredibly important. After trying TransOurDream’s Dark 3.0 Printable Heat Transfer Paper, we were impressed by the quality, durability, and vibrant results. We use it to create hats and apparel that our volunteers proudly wear at community events throughout Southern California. The finished transfers have held up well and give our apparel a professional look that reflects the care we put into our outreach. What has meant even more to us, however, has been the people behind the product. TransOurDream didn’t simply provide materials—they took the time to learn about our nonprofit, encouraged our mission, and have become a true partner in helping us serve our community. If you’re a small business, nonprofit, church, school, or anyone creating custom apparel, I highly recommend giving Dark 3.0 a try. It’s become an important part of how Race To Grace shares hope with the people we meet every week. Thank you, TransOurDream, for believing in our mission. We’re excited to continue growing this partnership together. — Kara Knippelberg Co-Founder, Race To Grace

This paper is the bees knees, it turns out fabulous on any fabric. Since they are bday shirts for the fam and I’ve only worn and washed once I can’t attest to lasting power. It was not peeling after one wash but did notice a few cracks

The transfer paper worked well

I have had the worst luck with ordering fan shirts for my kids' various team, always arring the qeong size or color or badly printed. So when I saw this peoduct, I thought I could finally buy a shirt the correct color and size and put whatever team emblem on it and surely it would last at least one season. I had mixed results. So first off: I probably should have tested snippets of the paper on some scrap fabric just to fine tune what temperature works best on my particular iron. The instructions say iron on high heat, but the troublshooting also says if it turns yellow the heat is too high. My first attempt was on a synthetic dry-fit material black shirt that was new and unwashed, and I followed the instructions of high heat and the time required for my size design over the protective paper they supply. The design turned brown like it had rusted, and some of the toner transferred to the protective sheet you use as you iron on the design. I don't know if the heat was too high, this doesn't work well with synthetic fabrics, it doesn't work well with dark unwashed fabrics, or all three. It looks like an intentional rusted effect so I will wear it anyway. I washed and dried it, and the design looks the same and appears to have adhered well. Then I went and bought a 100% cotton dark gray shirt, washed and dried it, and tried again. This time I put the iron on the permanent press setting, and ironed it for about 2/3 the time the instructions said. This turned out as intended and looks pretty good. I haven't washed it yet because I need to wait 48 hours, but I only need it to last three more competitions so am not worried about it since I can always iron another one on it if it comes off. It was easy to use and still a good value. I only have a black and white laser printer so I can't speak to use for color designs. My kids' school colors are black and white so I will get my money's worth out of this purchase for sure.

Best product for any crafter

They work as advertised and were great for seamlessly transferring an image to a T-shirt.

Great! I really love this item. I was so Leary how well the prints would look but they come out great. I have an HP all in one ink jet printer, and I print on BEST, and VERY IMPORTANT— don’t touch the ink with your fingers when pulling it out of the tray. Let it dry for about 5 minutes at least, or you’ll get fingerprints on your print. The only issue that I have, is that once you peel the backing off to be ready to press, it curls up on the ends, so you have to really work with it. If it’s one big cut it isn’t bad, but if you have lots of shapes or made smaller shapes, it’s hard to keep flat. Do NOT let it near your heat press or iron, until you’re totally in position or it’ll start to adhere with any heat at all so best to heat your shirt (or whatever) as that opens the fibers to make the iron on adhere better, then let that cool and then place the image where you want it, cover it with the included parchment paper then press!

The directions vague and unclear. Doesn't tell you how to enter the paper, just tells you not to print on the text side. Okay, great. So how do you enter the paper? First off, I entered it the paper one way, it flipped (??) in the printer, printing the image on the text side. Okay, I must have entered the paper incorrectly, so I changed how I entered the paper, and it still printed on the text side. LOL! Secondly, the image doesn't print off as nice as advertised. It's cloudy, dull, and just underwhelming. The paper quality just doesn't match the price. Not worth the cost, and quite frankly, not worth the trouble either. I advise anyone questioning whether or not to buy this product, to look elsewhere.

Lo usé para personalizar una playera y usé una impresora láser… aunque sea láser igual esperen que se seque un poco la tinta antes de tocar por encima el papel recién impreso! De resto, todo muy bien!!!

I buy this by bulk as I go through alot of it. It holds ink very well & is soft. I do wish the company would come out with an 11x17 or 13x19 option. It would be very helpful with my company.

Yes, that's correct! These iron-ons work really well, but there are some secrets you should know to ensure success. Firstly, always wash your shirts before applying the iron-on, and avoid using fabric softener. Using fabric softener increases the risk of colors bleeding after the iron-on application and subsequent wash. This was a frustrating lesson for me, as I made several shirts without realizing they might bleed. Secondly, be mindful not to use too much ink. In my first batch, I used a high-resolution setting on my printer, which resulted in excessive ink usage and bleeding. So, to summarize: wash without fabric softener, print at regular settings, and then iron away. Following these steps worked perfectly for me!

You ay find this little different to use than other printable HTV.I have used Cricut machines for 10 years and made many clothing items with HTV decorations. The usual way was to use the mirror function. With this product you DO NOT mirror your pattern. The backing peels off so easily and you simply place your pattern on you t-shirt ( or whatever you are decorating). After your pattern is in place ,cover it with the enclosed Teflon paper (or you can use parchment paper.) Then press it with a dry iron on Cotton setting. The pattern adhered perfectly and quickly! A trick I learned from a professional T shirt printing company is to always use HTV for dark fabrics. There is no need to use HTV for light Fabrics. The colors are more vibrant when you use the HTV for dark. So that's what I always use with great success. This is a photo of the t Shirt I made for my Mothers 103rd birthday. She loves pansy flowers.

La calidad y lo fácil que es al usar .
