I’ve tried 5 different brands on desertcart and this is the only one that is reliable for me. Many others won’t peel correctly or you have to wait 24 hours after printing or don’t last after one wash. PPD is perfect. It last for many washes and I actually put it through the dryer on low heat and never have any problems, I know it is recommended to air dry and I accidentally dried a printed shirt. To my surprise it came out of the dryer perfectly. Never buying another brand again!! Review: Not a replacement for silkscreen, but the best at what it does! - We are an Independent record store that puts the "Y" in "DIY". So when international Record Store Day came around, we were still in our first 6 months of business. That meant that any swag would have to be done on the cheap until we can get traction to get proper screenprinted gear. We bought these Iron on transfers knowing that the print would be real stiff, and they may not last as long as more expensive methods. But, for our application, they turned out GREAT! But, that is because we tempered our expectations and FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! First off: Those who say this stuff doesn't stick... read the directions! Odds are people tried using an ironing board and did not use enough heat and pressure. You have to be CONSISTENT and firm! We did it directly to a steel and masonite table. Also, if you dont have the highest heat possible, you will get discoloration. Not because the vinyl is melted too much, but because it is not melted ENOUGH. I went with 30 seconds to a minute longer than I thought I should, and when I did they came out perfect. The colors were more muted than I was expecting, but I feel it was the cheap printer. The vinyl is stiff, so wearing a big print on a T shirt won't breathe as well and it will probably crack over time. But, on the canvas tote bags they look and feel AWESOME! We got so many compliments and, if you bother to watch the instructional videos and read the instructions, you will get stunning results. ## Features - Professional Quality in a 20-Sheet Pack.

Well here it is 2025 and I am finally getting around to using it lol. Idk if it is because its old it was VERY hard to peel off the backing. But once I finally did(it was so annoying I gave up twice) the paper works great! Irons on so smooth and quick. Not to bulky while wearing on a shirt. Don't do like me and put TAPE on the picture side. I messed up my design because the tape peels office ink ## Frequently Bought Together - PPD Iron on Transfer Paper for Dark Fabric Compatible with Inkjet Printer, 8.5 x 11 Printable T Shirt Heat Transfer Papers Machine Washable (20 Pack) - PPD Iron on Transfer Paper for Inkjet Printer for Light Fabric, 8.5 x 11 Printable Paper for Clothing, T Shirts and Cotton Textiles, Print and Cut Heat Transfer, DIY at Home, Washable (20 Sheets) - PPD Inkjet Premium Iron-On White and Light Color T Shirt Transfers Paper LTR 8.5x11” Pack of 10 Sheets (PPD001-10) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/20676590-20-sheets-8-5x11-inkjet-iron-on-heat-transfer-paper](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/20676590-20-sheets-8-5x11-inkjet-iron-on-heat-transfer-paper) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
