T Shirt Transfers Iron On
Iron-on T-shirt Transfers?
I’ve read some other questions on iron-on t-shirt transfers and I’ve been wondering why they don’t work well on dark colored shirts? I thought that the iron-on was simply placing the ink onto the shirts, so the colors should blend, right? Or can anyone tell me exactly how they work?
Also, how do the dark iron-on transfers work?
Thank you
Also, I read the instructions for the iron-on and they said that you needed to cut the image/whatever as close to the edge as possible to avoid that halo effect…What about for words or something though? Like if you have a long sentence and there are letters with “holes” such as “o”s and “a”s and stuff..do you have to cut around those as well..?
There are 2 kinds of transfers, one for light shirts and one for dark shirts. The light shirt transfers have the ink on a TRANSPARENT layer of material that gets transfered to the t-shirt.The dark transfers have the ink on a WHITE layer of material because if it were transparent the color of the dark shirt would blend with the color of the ink.
When transfering to a dark colored shirt you have to cut out every bit of white you don’t want to appear after ironing. The way you see the design before you iron it on is exactly how it’ll turn out after ironing, meaning if you left some white outline the white outline is going to show.
Yeah, every last hole of the letters has to be cut out too.
