    Avery T-Shirt Transfers for Light Fabric, 8.5" x 11", 18 Transfers - Make your Own Christmas Shirt (8938)

    • but I didn't like that the color were not bright and vivid.
    • It would be like needing to put two coats of paint on a dark color but not being able to line them up.
    • If it's a photograph with someone's face, don't use the transparent light colored transfers on heathered grey T-shirts -- it'll look weird, like the person has a rash.
    • Easy to use, they went on my maternity shirts perfectly and now I have some uber cute and funny maternity shirts instead of just plain colored ones
    • For those wondering what it looks like on colors and darks here are some pictures on white to show the true design and differnt colors even dark red and black
    • great colors that don't fade immediately
    • Only problem I had was that a pink color bled out of the design regardless of the color of the design
    • Poor color quality after printing and washes out.
    • Great color transfer and washes well in cold water
    • I original used Dark colored transfers and the shirts turned out amazing
    • Prints bright colors but they run and bleed.
    • I am a regular user of heat transfer vinyl for solid color or layered designs but have never been able to get more than one or two colors on a shirt
    • Color was great, but runs in the wash.
    • The transfers now seem to last longer after washing (though you still need to be careful, they do fade).I've used the Avery "light" and "dark" colored transfers -- the difference is that, ironically, the transfers for "dark" colors have white backgrounds you're printing on (it makes sense, I promise!).
    • Turned out perfect, colors were bright, and the cut was perfect
    • crap the colors bleed onto the shirt
    • The paper did not absorb the ink well, so the colors were not as vibrant as they should have been
    • But if it's just simple numbers or words, or solid darker-colored graphics, you can easily get away with using light colored transfers on even medium grey or red T-shirts.
    • The print had vibrant colors, and the bag I used was a natural color cotton
    • The color comes out beautiful and we love it
    • They hold nice color - even if you print in the draft mode to save ink.
    • As a matter of fact I had better results with the Iron-ons that Avery makes for dark colored fabrics
    • So if you want to use a colored t-shirt, you have to have the entire image be printed in bright, opposite colors.
    • If you use light colored transfers on a dark color, they won't show up well, and will look 'muddy' and the colors will be changed by the fabric.

    • Very easy to use and good color.
    • Toddlers drew and emailed me self-portraits, I enhanced the color on a photo edit app, then printed their artwork onto Avery Transfer
    • I noticed bright colors have a harder time making the leap, but that could well be a limitation of my printer
    • These transfers work well enough, they definitely print color well and transfer correctly
    • Using the premium photo option on the printer, I received wonderful, crisp colors that transferred beautifully to white fabric and you can't see the edges of the transfer!
    • These transfers work well enough, they definitely print color well and transfer correctly
    • If one were to print a light colored picture and put it on a dark colored t-shirt, it would work~~?
    • Any color will shine through whatever light spots you have on your print.
    • The Dark Transfer paper actually has a white backing on the transfer itself, so that you don't ruin the colors on your design with the dark fabric showing through and muddying your design colors
    • Three of the tees came out fine as they were dark colors and I used the transfers for dark colors.
    • We've done dozens of t shirt transfers before but these kept coming out with odd colors when we completed the transfer.
    • The color was brilliant
    • The dark colored Avery transfers are like putting a sheet of white paper behind the piece of stained glass that's sitting on top of a black T-shirt...all the colors are suddenly vivid and bright
    • The colors came out rich and clear.
    • So if you're cutting out a lot of detail, the light colored clear transfers look a lot better after being ironed on than the dark ones, since it's very hard to make the white background of the dark colored transfers look even.
    • The color is nearly transparent!

    • I also tried the Dark Transfer paper for dark colored shirts, and the difference between the two types is that on the Light Transfer paper, any areas of your design that are "white" are actually just clear on the Transfer paper, so that your light shirt color just comes through
    • Color dull after washing
    • Honestly if you use anything other than dark colors in your design do not use this onany colored shirt use dark transfer paper the colors don't change as much and whites are not the color of the shirt under it.
    • The colors are great.
    • The Dark Transfer paper actually has a white backing on the transfer itself, so that you don't ruin the colors on your design with the dark fabric showing through and muddying your design colors
    • The iron-ons have a color shield formula that means colors stay bright, even after being washed.
    • Good clear colors and easy to apply
