Today I bought some Avery Ink Jet T-Shirt Transfer Papaer. For making Iron Ons from an ink jet printer. If any of you are thinking about doing this dont. When the paper fed through my printer lots of smoke was coming out of my printer and I have ran about 10 blank sheets of paper through the printer since trying to remove any remainin residue from inside of the printer. I guess what happend was the Toner stuck to the paper and then transfer from the paper to the "hot roller". And now I think Im going to have to take my printer apart and clean it.

I then tried to use this in an ink jet printer and transfer it to the PCB, this did tansfer but it transfer plastic in between all of the traces, this would be resistive to the copper etch and wont work.

So with all of the said the iron on transfer paper for T-Shirts will not work. Lucky me I have 3 kids and can make them some shirts with this paper. Too bad I have to clean my Laser Printer now.

Good Luck All,
Jesse
