How long does transfer paper last (for t-shirts?

Faded Picture on Inkjet Transfer paper?

• I recently bought a package of transfer magic brand Inkjet Transfer paper. When I printed out a picture onto the Transfer paper, It was faded in all black and dark blue areas, and Some black areas are just plain white, no color at all...I re-read all of the instructions, and read FAQ's, and even searched on Google.com but nothing has solved the problem. My printer is a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni. I thought my printer just wasn't the right kind for this type of Transfer Paper, but It said it would work fine on the FAQ. Thank you

• Answer:

  Your inkjet can definitely print on transfer paper. Check the type of transfer paper and get the HP transfer paper. Secondly, when you print, make sure it is at 600 dpi . Lastly, make sure your color cartridge is full and that it isn't clogged. When you are ready to transfer to a T-shirt, put a few blank pages over the printer page so that the heat transfer is slow and gives the ink a chance to penetrate in the fabric.
