PSA: For those that need to use heat transfer mask (that clear film that helps transfer lettering or aligned images from sheet to t-shirt) there is a solution. After you print your image, before you cut it, you must peel it off the page entirely and put it onto a low-tack carrier sheet. Cut the image, and then apply your mask. About 12 years ago Neenah got into a lawsuit and had to change the backing paper of its transfers. For years most people either stopped using mask with 3G Jet Opaque etc.. this is a workable solution for most. If your carrier sheet (low-tack) is still a bit too sticky, you can reduce the tack by wiping a clean cotton t-shirt across it.
Franklin, thank you for your feedback! Both 3G Jet Opaque and Jet Opaque II are for inkjet printers, and pigment based ink. However, 3G Jet Opaque works best with 100% cotton and dark's, while Jet Opaque II works best with cotton, polyester, blends, and darks.
Hello! You can still do a very light stretch for flexibility in the transfer. You do not necessarily have to re press either. We tend to not, only to peel the silicone cold.
How long should you let image set, once printed? I have an Epson ET 2720 and after image has been pressed, let sit for 3 days, and then it bleeds a bit once washed..only the black.
Hello! With this paper, we press right away! You can also let sit out, if you do not need to press right away. With this paper, you also need to use pigment based ink.
Dennis, 3G is best used with 100% cotton for the best quality and durability. We would recommend the Jet Opaque II for a blend: www.coastalbusiness.com/jet-opaque-ii-dark-fabric-transfer-paper-mjd-g.html
Hello! Yes, this transfer paper is meant for dark colored garments. You may be experiencing bleed through from the shirt, are you working with polyester in your garment?
Yes, you need to peel the back paper sheet, from the transfer, prior to pressing. Can you please email pictures and your order information to support@coastalbusiness.com.
HI! You can purchase just the silicone here: www.coastalbusiness.com/silicone-treated-cover-sheets-for-heat-transfer-and-sublimation-printing-silicone-g.html Thanks!
@@Ruck.Norris I used parchment paper and it stuck to my image even though I cold peeled. Had to rinse the shirt twice to scrape all the paper off. It was a mess!
@@Ruck.Norris It was a cotton t-shirt... I used my easy press at the recommended 350 for 30sec. Not sure what happened as that was my first time trying and I'm literally now scared to try it again. I've watched so many videos and still can't figure out what happened. I made sure to ask if the short was washed prior and if they used fabric softener and was told they only used detergent.
Use parchment paper over top of the 3G paper. It will stick with hardly any heat. PLACE it on your garment BEFORE the garment gets warm. Don't move the 3G paper around while it's under a hot heat press. Gets messed up almost every time. This paper is a go-to for me. I've been using it for years. I'm not paid by this company.
Is it for light fabrics too ?
Hello! Yes, you could use on light colored garments as well. We do sell the Jet-Pro for lights that would be a softer hand.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I have been looking for this solution for weeks.
W ha t printer you're using, best to use
Thank you very much for your tutorials I want to ask if there is a difference between 3g jet opaque and jet opaque ll

Do I have to use the Cricut machine
Please do a tutorial on how to transfer with a hand iron.
Should it be set to photo glossy or regular
Did you ever find out which one to use
@@JacobHamiltontheman nope still waiting
how about now?
@@ArtOfTheWeld still nothing
whats the name of the cuter?
Hi, lovely video. What ink should we use for printing? Thank you!
Hi Anthony, you will want to use a pigment based ink with your inkjet printer.
@@CoastalBusinessSup thank you :)
You're welcome!
So you don't need to stretch or 2nd press light the light fabric ones?
Hello! You can still do a very light stretch for flexibility in the transfer. You do not necessarily have to re press either. We tend to not, only to peel the silicone cold.

@@CoastalBusinessSup Thanks! So, the ink that came with my Epson ET 2720 printer won't work?
Hello, normally the ink that comes with the printer is dye based ink and will run/smear once washed. We would only recommend pigment based.
Can transfer it on blend materials 50/50

Does this work on black shirts because when I did it like this the whole picture turned black lol 😂
Hello! Yes, this transfer paper is meant for dark colored garments. You may be experiencing bleed through from the shirt, are you working with polyester in your garment?
@@CoastalBusinessSup no it was a black shirt cotton and the bleeding setting was off am I supposed to peel the paper before pressing? Thank you
Yes, you need to peel the back paper sheet, from the transfer, prior to pressing. Can you please email pictures and your order information to support@coastalbusiness.com.
@@CoastalBusinessSup ok thank you I will
Thank you!
Hi...Can you purchase the silicone sheets separate?
HI! You can purchase just the silicone here: www.coastalbusiness.com/silicone-treated-cover-sheets-for-heat-transfer-and-sublimation-printing-silicone-g.html
Thanks!
Just use parchment paper over top of it while pressing it. After pressing, WAIT for it to COOL ALL THE DOWN before removing it.

@@jpla8716 strange bc that's all I use. What temp, and how long, did u press it? & what type of fabric was it?
@@Ruck.Norris

Why do you spend the paper?
Hi Ronald, what do you mean by spend?
@@CoastalBusinessSup sorry i mean ..why do you waste paper... 🙈. The printed image Is very small ...
Hello, Gotcha. Yes, there was waste involved here I would say. You can always gang your images up on one page if you wish.
Anyone else having trouble peeling this??
Why do y’all say “place appropriately on the shirt?” Wth is appropriate? Face up/or down like come on!
You should place the image side up on the shirt and cover with silicone before pressing. Thanks for the question!.
bad stuff all the vinyl got stick!
Hi there, thanks for checking in with us, however, we will need more information regarding this situation. Do you have an order number?
