Topic: T-shirt Iron on transfers

Hi hi... I've got a few sheets left over from ages ago. They say quite specifically on the packet they are for ink/bubble jet printers. Anyone know if you can use them in a laser jet? Any ideas what would happen if I just tried anyways?

I'd say start by figuring out how hot your laser printer gets when printing.... carry on

HP laser jet is just a type of laser printer, and does not use ink jets.

Ahhh I see where you're going with that. So potentially the print could melt into my printer? LOL that would suck balls... but it still might be worth it:O

What does that mean for the transfer thingos?

Well it means it's nothing like an ink jet if that's what you were hoping the 'jet' part of the name meant. I don't know what will happen. Possibly the thing that's supposed to happen during the ironing will happen during the printing.

You'll prolly melt the transfer/image to the rollers inside the printer yeah.. You need specific ones for laser printers to use in laser printers (heh duh).. i've tried to get hold of a few for a business idea i'm running with atm but its just not cost effective or that good quality to be honest

Definitely do not use them in a laser printer. Like boxhead said, it will melt on to the rollers inside and jam the paper more than likely, one royal expensive f*** up.

Laser printers use a fuser that gets up into the hundreds of degrees celcius temperature range so yeah, pretty much any iron on s*** that goes through your printer is going to get ironed straight onto the fuser drum. Oh the irony.
