I have had good results with the ppd and Avery all I have to do is do a little editing and I can clear up a brighten the image

[@JanHowell]

Good to know.

[@denasewell]

I like ironing freezer paper to cotton fabric and cutting it to fit 8x11 printer paper

[@JanHowell]

Great idea!

[@dashiajames1882]

I use transfer paper but I don't wanna if it's the correct one. Cuz I love to draw alot so I use transfer paper. But I use wayyy different brands. I never heard of these. Than all of those..!! Thanks alot !!

[@JanHowell]

Yes, I go over the details of the different sheens in this post. youmakeitsimple.com/2022/03/27/top-4-heat-transfer-papers-for-making-custom-labels/

[@dancingmatildashoes]

Jan thank you so much for your instructions. I learned so much from you. I have a question. Can you use your PDF label transfers with a laser printer?

[@JanHowell]

Yes. Just make sure the transfer paper is made for laser printer use!

I wish you had made a spreadsheet with all the information it would have made it se much easier to follow. Maybe you did this….if you did, may I have copy please. I want to make some labels and I can’t afford try all these brands.

[@JanHowell]

I do have a spread sheet for this. You can locate it here youmakeitsimple.com/2022/03/27/top-4-heat-transfer-papers-for-making-custom-labels/ Scroll down to the photo of the spread sheet and you can get a printable PDF. Have fun making labels

[@ettakaynickel6148]

I saw a quilter that had what I thought was a label in the center of her quilt back. I messaged her on the how to but never heard. I thought it was a great idea to be able to do that on a few quilts. Do you think she might have used an ink transfer? It was not embroidered. Thanks

[@JanHowell]

Yes, most likely.

[@reneeanderson]

Hi Jan, thank you for all of this helpful information! I was looking for the link for your video about printing on dark fabrics like you mentioned, but I can’t seem to find it. Would you be able to help me locate that video? Thank you so much!

[@JanHowell]

Here is the link to that video tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqicqoaBjN-Fnac

[@c.ann1408]

How about transfer paper that dissolves/dissolvable transfer paper, will the inkjets work with transfer fabric paper that dissolves work in these inkjet printers too?????

[@JanHowell]

You'll have to check the transfer paper instructions for that.

[@kcastillo0319]

Fascinating and very helpful. What are your thoughts about using on a bowl cozy that would be in the microwave 2-3 minutes? Do you think the laminate would melt or catch fire? I'm wanting to label items that are NOT microwave safe because they contain Insulbrite. I think a label from the June Tailor product will be ideal. Thanks again! I'll use your affiliate link to purchase.

[@JanHowell]

I would not recommend putting laminate in the microwave!

[@kcastillo0319]

@@JanHowell My thoughts, too. I've been experimenting with applying clear contact paper (Dollar Tree) to fabric with my laminator. The contact paper is thinner than actual laminating plastic. Thinking about printing directly on fabric and putting contact paper on both sides. I'll give it a try soon - sew with it, wash/dry, and let you know. My order of June Tailor paper will be here in a couple of days. Had no idea you could put it on ribbon. You shared some terrific information. Have a good day.

[@kcastillo0319]

Hi, Jan. A follow-up. The clear contact paper did not protect the ink when printed on cotton. Thought I would let you know. The Tailor product will arrive tomorrow and cannot wait to try it, using your tips. Thanks again for posting.

[@Rongmeiqueen]

can i use this paper in normal home printers?

[@JanHowell]

Yes. Just make sure you are using the correct paper for your printer type. Laser or inkjet.

[@Marvatate201]

Could you please tell me why do my prints always go to the color of the tshirt that I press it on ? I have tried transfer paper and print it on a purple, pink, brown so far.

[@JanHowell]

Are you using transfer paper for dark colors instead of white? That may be the issue. They are two different things. You may find this post helpful. youmakeitsimple.com/2021/06/17/how-to-use-heat-transfer-paper-no-mirror-image-needed/

[@Marvatate201]

@@JanHowell thank so much for taking time to address my issues. I’m using the correct papers for each color, and my prints don’t come out right and vibrant. Do I need to install a software that may can fix the issues? I am very new to this, thanks again

[@MargoDiPatri]

So informative! Have you tried “NUFUN” brand?

[@JanHowell]

Not yet!

[@tkarlmann]

Got a video for laser printers?

[@JanHowell]

I don't, sorry

[@dibotente]

FYI: Hobby Lobby has the Tailor transfer paper in a 3-piece package, in both Light and Dark.

[@JanHowell]

Good to know. Thanks for sharing

[@tmjewels567]

How did you create the labels to print? Did you use a website?

[@JanHowell]

No. I use a graphics program
