Iron-on printable transfer paper?

[BettyButterknife]

Does such a thing exist? Basically I want to be able to print images out on my printer using paper that I can then iron onto a t-shirt/bag etc.

If this doesn't exist why not, can someone suggest a similar alternative please?

Thanks :)

yes it does exist, I've done it a few times with varying results.

here.

I've bought some at PC world in the past.

Fantastic, thanks. When you say varying results, CM, what do you mean? Can you give me some pointers please? I have to lead a group of 50 or so making their own personal reusable shopping bag so I need to get it right.

Mostly I've just done kids t-shirts, and used various printers and brands of transfer paper.
I'd say the main points are that:

Colours come out less intense than expected.

Some wash better than others - but that shouldn't be an issue with shopping bags.

A nice smooth white fabric works best, although there is another type for use on dark fabrics.

They do work pretty well, but the results are not as good as other types of printing.

I have got mine from WH Smith and also from Amazon.

They work alright, I have found the quality is effected more by your comuter than by the paper really.

I use it to make my own sewing labels and name labels that I iron onto ribbon or cotton tape.

Betty you can also succesfully print straight onto cotton fabric if you stick the fabric to sticky-backed printer paper (you can get A4 sheets of sticky label paper) and guide the fabric through the printer carefuly. If you google it you should find tutorials.

Although then you would have to sew the fabric square onto your bag. Iron-on transfer is probably easier!

I've used the stuff for t-shirts which only seem to suffer if they're stretched (picture cracks) or if they're washed to death, neither of which should be a problem with a bag I did do some kids gift bags at christmas which came out pretty good, the hardest bit for me is always getting the backing paper off in one go, which can be harder with a big picture. I think you can get fabric you can inkjet print straight onto haven't seen it recently and if you're trying to keep costs down the t-shirt printing stuff would probably be cheaper - got the most recent stuff from hobbycraft.

'crafty computer paper' do a great selection of printable, ironable cotton sheets that are great for printing on. They have all sorts of things and I've used them a lot without any problems with the products. They are very clear in the information about what they can and cannot do.
Sorry, I'm not good at links. HTH
