Side by Side Comparison of: Avery vs Saral

This will change your life!!!! Ever wanted a cute graphic tee but don't want to pay $30 for it? This product is amazing. If you aren't familiar with transfer paper, I recommend searching it up. These work great. I will say this is ONLY FOR INKJET. If you use it with a laser printer(which uses heat), the paper will melt and RUIN YOUR PRINTER!!! Ours is still broken and we have called the printer services and there is no fix. However, this is still a 5 star product on account of it says Inkjet Printer in the description. Note: when I bought this product, it did not say inkjet in the title, as it does now.

This was perfect for me making tote bags for my sister's bachelorette party. Yes you can see the ring around the picture where the sticky stuff ends, but that's to be expected. This is not a professional shirt shop. This is clearly a DIY type of thing.The best advice I saw on the reviews was to apply pressure or keep heat on it. There were a couple of times I tried to peel it off, but had to go back for more heat.

Printed a shirt design onto one of the sheets via an old ink jet printer. Everything transferred well and following the iron-on instructions, it transferred perfectly. Only one tiny part of the corner came off the shirt when I peeled it but I think that was more my initial impatience to pull it off. I waited to post this until after we washed the shirt on normal settings with other clothes. While we did turn it inside out, probably more out of laziness as it came off my son than anything that caused actual worry about it lasting, everything went well and the shirt / print still looks excellent.

My daughter and I made such great T-shirts for her students for Pre School graduation. Avery is excellent and their online template program was very easy to work with. If you want to design shirts all you need is the program (which is free) and Avery Transfers.Very easy to do. Use your printer to print out your design, place your shirt on a sheet, place the shirt down and place another sheet on top. This is what I found the works the best for me. Iron evenly, wait a few minutes till the transfer and shirt cool and peel. Wash the shirts inside out for keeping the vibrant colors. Recommended !!

Try work great. Just be careful and be sure to apply for the time listed otherwise you can burn the transfer image. How do I know this can happen?... well of course I managed to accomplish it. It caused the image to turn a yellowish tan around the outside of the image. I didn't spray on any additional adhesives. My son has worn and washed his shirt 4 times and it is in the same condition as it was when I made it. Great product at a reasonable price.

Great product! Make sure to cut-out/trim around your design for best results. The halo effect can be also be reduced great by re-ironing with wax paper. It's quick and easy to apply any design from your computer to printer to fabric. This was great for making customized gifts for people for birthdays and Christmas. Very economical. I washed my shirts before and after. The halo did come back after I applied the transfer and washed but I re-ironed and it was gone. I would buy this again.

It's perfect, easy to work with and it's NOT MESSY!!!

Good transfer paper! I use it to mark for darts, gathers, etc. It is reusable, leaves good marks, and always washes out.

Works great for transferring designs to rocks for rock painting. I got the multi-colored transfers.

I use this product for tracing parts of the pattern on to the fabric by using the tracing wheel. This product comes with assorted color sheets, so regardless of what color fabric you are using, you should be able to find a sheet that transfers the markings of the patterns well.

After searching for months, I finally found exactly the right transfer paper. It is the best I have used so far. I transfer on wood and this product is superior. Great transfer marks that are very easy to see. And the price is less than I found in all the craft stores even if they carried this product.

I used this transfer paper for my work in Draping Two Class, it work better than the regular Tracing Paper on the market. I will always make sure I have plenty on hand for all of my sewing projects. Thank you

Great product. Will definitely buy again. Easy to use; all you need is a program that can mirror your image. Was hoping to use the print and cut feature on my silhoutte, but it wouldn't cut through the shiny backing. So I offset my image and use those lines to guide my scissors and that worked wonderfully. I love this because the excess material that shows through is very incognito, just a slight shine. Happy Crafting!

The print quality was great, however I am not sure if the fault was with me, or the product, when it came to application. The image I wanted to transfer to a tshirt was the entire sheet, so there was no trimming. It took more effort (time and pressure) to get the sheet to transfer. But overall, happy with the outcome.

These sheets worked better than I expected on white t-shirts, and I have already washed them. BUT, they didn't work on red t-shirts. I didn't realize this, but the background of these look white, but once ironed on, turn clear. So if you want to use a colored t-shirt, you have to have the entire image be printed in bright, opposite colors.

We purchased these to make personalized shirts for a recent trip to Disney World. The instructions were easy to follow and the transfer came out great on the shirt. One tip: need to make sure you go over the transfer with the iron a lot. I was a little anxious for the first shirt and did not iron the edges as much as I should have and experienced some lifted corners. Otherwise, great product and looked great on the shirts.

I find that these transfers easily peeled off or didn't apply fully even with following the directions and adding a little bit more time to the edges.I make a lot of transfer shirts and Avery for me is still the hardest to stick if using a whole sheet.

These transfers work well enough, they definitely print color well and transfer correctly. However the claim that any white printed out will just be removed after a wash or two is not true, you can clearly see what would be white on the light gray shirt I put it on. Also the claim that the printing paper left over after transfer would be removed completely after a couple washes and it would appear to only be ink was not fully true, if you stretch the shirt you can see the stretch marks where a bit of the paper is left over. Other than that, the shirt looks great and it would like 95% well. Functionally correct, but auxiliarily a few problems. Ohh and the package the paper was in was a bit damaged (dirty, cardboard was a bit bent, etc.) but nothing too major. Perhaps that could have caused the problems but I'm not sure. Either way, very good and I would tend to buy again.

Great for tracing with my new lightbox purchased on Amazon! AGPtek 17"(A4 Size) Tracing Light Box LED Artcraft Tracing Light Pad Light Box

Bought this to test and decide which color to buy in large roll. Haven't decided which color I like best yet. Wish it was a little thicker for durability.

The transfer paper is useful and clean plus it can be used repeatedly (it's quite sturdy). Good to have around the studio for copying art from one format to another.

This is good stuff to use when you have to transfer a drawing to a dark surface without leaving a waxy line. I used it to put patterns on vehicle doors years ago, when I was painting signs on them.

I use this paper for tracing sewing patterns for alteration. I also use it to mark muslin for basting. I do wish the colors transferred a little darker but the line it leaves is crisp, clean and resistant to smudges. I find the sheets durable and can get many uses out of a section of paper.

The impression these sheets were a little light. I had to press hard to get a good impression, which sometimes makes me go off the lines I am trying to draw on. Over all they did the job fine. But I will still keep looking out for better transfer paper.

Okay, over half got gunked up in the printer and were unusable. Followed all the directions. After three washes, they've peeled off. Good for maybe a one wear thing, but these are not a viable solution for frequent use.

Product is good, and only works for light colored shirts. and the it does print clear (see through). However, 1-2 washes and it started to peel. Also, make sure you use a really good iron for it and make sure it's really hot. Because it definitely does make a difference.

The package we got was very old, and the transfers did not work. We have used the same exact product countless times over the years, and never had a problem. We went and bought the same thing in store and it was fine. Normally a great product. Think we got one that was bad for whatever reason. Literally, wouldn't transfer. Heat did not affect it. But it printed out fine. When we got the same thing in store, it worked perfectly. No idea what happened.

They work and they look great initially but all of my shirts faded drastically after first wash even after following the instructions. Reds looked yellow and blacks looked gray. My firetruck looked horrible. I used HP ink in an HP photosmart inkjet printer. The up-side is the transfer did stay on well - I have had no peeling or anything thus far - but the colors faded so drastically that I would only recommend for a single use event - for example a birthday party. If you don't wash before the party, it will look amazing. Once you wash, the shirt will probably need to just become a back-up shirt or undershirt. It did work well for this.

Sufficient for a few wearings, but will show wear quickly. Transfers went on easily and were so seamless that most people who saw the aprons didn't even realize we'd ironed on the logos. However, after the first washing, we started to see tears in the edges of the transfers. For us, not a big deal, since we only expect to wear these a few times as Halloween costumes, but anyone planning a more permanent usage might want to look elsewhere, or at least plan to treat the garments carefully.

I got these T-Shirt transfers for use on a white cotton t-shirt. The transfers are clear, so trying to use them on a colored t-shirt - even a light colored t-shirt as the description says, can lead to the image being blocked or distorted by the t-shirt color itself. The best way to go with a t-shirt of any color are the dark t-shirt transfers which are white. However, for use on white shirts these do the job just fine. It is always recommended that you wash the shirt before using the transfers so that if the shirt is going to shrink it's before you've added the transfer. The results I got were fine - the transfer ironed on and applied evenly to the shirt. The colors transferred well with very little fading. The only reason this gets 3 stars though is how well the transfers have held up in the wash. Once washed a couple of times the image faded and it became really obvious that it was an iron-on transfer. Worse, over time the image started to get cracks in it. So, if you're buying these to make t-shirts for a one-time special event then they work fine. However, if you want to continue to wear the shirt afterwards you may want to go for a higher quality transfer.

May be a good product, just wasn't what I thought it was, so it was of no use to me.

works okay... not great. you really have to press with some force.

The colors don't transfer well onto fabric, but as well as other transfer papers I've tried just not like the old wax transfer paper.

The pages are very thin and don't have a lot of transfer medium on them. But it works. The lines transferred are very light so you have to go over them. Overpriced for what you get. But I couldn't find anything any better for less. The only reason I bought this product is that it was available on Amazon prime. It was handy that this contains 5 different colors.

I am sure that this product works well when it is used exactly as designed. However, I needed a transfer paper that could be printed on and this product is too thin to run through a printer.

I wasn't sure what I was looking for. I needed tracing transfer paper so I could transfer my designs onto wood as a templet for me to wood burn.It came with a few different colors. Some of it came off on my fingers. Also when I used the red after I was done with the wood burning some of the red wouldn't come off. I even wiped the wood down with water.However I did use one sheet for multiple drawings and they came out well every time. So I would recomend it to people so they can see how they like different pages. For myself it taught me that I prefer grey or black transfer paper over red and other colors.

These printed fine for me and the instructions were clear enough. But even following said instruction to the letter I had an EXTREMELY difficult time getting the images to adhere to my fabric. And even after I FINALLY got them all passably done, they began to peel again after the lightest use.

I used this on a light grey shirt and the transfer background was visible. It didn't laundry well, quickly becoming cracked and peeling in places.Fortunately, I used this to create truck shirts for a 2-year-old, so a long-lasting transfer wasn't required. And it did hold the color well.

All the iron on's peeled off the fabric after a few days even though all the directions were followed. Really disappointing.

I followed the directions to the letter and the transfer still kept failing. Finally got it to stay and the first time I wore the shirt one of the designs split down the middle. Never again.

This looked great at first, but it started to crack and peel as time went on. When I tried to remove it, it left little pieces on the fabric that I just couldn't get rid of. This is not worth the time or effort. I would not be purchasing this again.

I've tried other brands, and this one was the absolute worse. There are times I had to go over the paper several times for it to stick to the shirt. After that, I had to be careful removing it because sometimes it wouldn't stick.Consider this a one time use. After washing, my effort was pointless. Cracking, peeling, and change of color of the transfer where ink wasn't applied. I'd look for a different alternative.

I bought this hoping it was a slightly less expensive option to others on the market, for transferring design lines to fabrics. It just has not worked for me.

Blue didn't work

Leaves very faint lines so not very useful for my watercolor work. Messy and fragile. Disappointed.

I wanted it to print/trace on glass and it didn't. somewhat disappointed.

I tried using the red transfer paper on dark taupe Aida cloth. The transfer worked, but as I started to stitch, I noticed the design kept rubbing off. Moreover, since I was stitching with light floss, the red transfer material stained my stitching! I wasn't able to get the red out, so I had to scrap that entire project. I was successful using the white paper coupled with a transfer pen since the white didn't stain. I don't think I'll be able to use the other sheets for embroidery without compromising the project. I was able to use the white sheet a couple of times, but once you trace something, you can't reuse that exact same spot again.

Not for dressmaking and marking fabric. Not dark enough to see and have to mark each piece of fabric separately unlike the old style of transfer paper.

These did not work well for me at all. Still not sure what I did wrong, followed directions to the letter. I put print outs on small white cotton canvas totes and they came out terribly. Extremely disappointed.

After the first day.... never again was the image the same.Did not last one single wash.100% unhappy

These transfers for light are horrible! The back does not peel off. I could not use a single one. You can use the transfers made for dark instead. They work great. The backing must be thicker.

Followed directions perfectly and the designs peeled off after one wash. Save yourself some time and frustration and just use the dark transfers from Avery. They work great on any fabric, light or dark. Only difference is that they have a white background rather than clear. Oh, and they actually work--that's different.

This did not work at all. I followed the directions properly and ended up with a nice design on the shirt after I ironed it on and let it cool. But once I put it in the washer on low, it cracked and the design (which was the Nike swoosh) faded into the shirt I had bought at Forever 21 for over $15.00. I'm pretty sure I will never buy any transfer papers ever again. I'd rather just buy a shirt with the graphic I want on it. DO NOT BUY THIS. (However bad the outcome was, I did receive it earlier than I expected it to come. But I was NOT satisfied with this product.)

Two things I didn't like:-The software/program that you can download via their website for this item did not have the option to flip the design (so your letters would not read backward). I had to use Word to flip the letters.-The instructions recommends to wash the item once so the shirt can be softer, but instead it just ruin the whole thing.I guess this is not bad for one time use items or pictures that doesn't require flipping.

I used this product on white cotton fabric for a dress. While unlike other tracing papers, the color actually does easily transfer, unfortunately even after washing, the color has not come out. My dress is ruined.

It slowly starts fading while I am stitching the pattern making it extremely hard to see my pattern.

This is crap. Don't bother. The package I got barely had any chalk left.

There was only sheets in the envelope I received. The graphite sheet is missing.

I'm not fond of this transfer paper. I've used the black so far and if this is the quality of the transfer paper then I am not satisfied with how light it transfers no matter how hard i apply pressure and how many times I run it over with a tracing wheel.

As a professional seamstress the item was awful - transfer marks were so so bad they were useless
