Brand Reviews

You would think that something titled "print and stick paper" would allow you, once you had printed on it, to stick it to something. Some kind of adhesive backing, perhaps, with a protective cover you could peel off.

But no. Just as it's up to you what you print on this paper, it's up to you apparently to find some kind of glue with which to stick it to some kind of surface.

Not only does this product give you absolutely no hint about what glues to use, what surfaces are appropriate, etc.
Inside and out, the product avoids even mentioning this little matter of the second verb in its name ("stick").

This is one of the most blatantly misleading rip-off products I have encountered in a good long time.

The first reviewer had an experience similar to the one I had when I first used the Office Depot "Print & Stick" paper. I spent a little time trying to determine how to separate the paper from its backing. Eventually, I was able to do this rather painlessly and have been thouroughly satisfied with the product. I use it to make labels for CD envelopes. I can create the labels in MS Publisher to any size I want and then print it on my inkjet printer. I can design it any way I want. I do wish Office Depot had explained the use of the paper a little better.

These are THE WORST t-shirt transfers. I purchased the 50 pack at the store and very happy that they have 100% satisfaction guaranteed. I got my money back and purchased Avery's "New & Improved" 3275 iron-ons. I haven't tried Epson's but am eager to do so.

What makes the Office Depot Inkjet Iron-ons so bad?

The "white space" yellows (I thought, hmmmm...must have overcooked it, lemme try again for less time) Now the background is just slightly yellow but the transfer is not thick enough to cling to the shirt or whatever. Forget color, washed out and dull. I washed the shirt (had about 5 different test spots) and it was like dried oatmeal on the shirt. LAME!

My printer is 6-color photo dye inks (epson r300 - love it) and this printer supports transfers so I can rightly say that this brand of transfer is for the trash. (Hey Office Depot, cut out the middle man and throw these things out yourself!)

So if you're looking for QUALITY RESULTS, I know the Avery transfers are great great great! I have had fantastics results with the Epson products I use (photo papers for photo restoration biz) and so I believe Epson will have quality transfers, I hope!

Ok, that's it.

They're easy to use. I've been through two packs of them without a single major mishap--I've always come out with a shirt to wear although the first few experiments didn't come out perfect.

Unlike light t-shirt transfers, they're durable. I spotted the first teeny-tiny crack in one today--that's after nearly a year of weekly washing & wearing.

Because of the texture of the paper, pictures tend to print a little lighter on the paper than they print on photo or normal paper--so results might be a little different than expected. And, if your ink is turned up too high, the picture might bleed a little in the wash--so wash them separate the first couple times so the excess ink doesn't stain your other clothes.

Excellent product overall. Just watch what you're doing and it'll turn out great. All of my problems were totally user error. I ironed a strand of hair into one of them and ironed another on a little crooked--but even those problems are the kind of minor things only I'd notice.
