3G JET-OPAQUE® (1 Step) For Dark Garment Printing in InkJet Printers. 3G JET-OPAQUE has a softer hand and drapes better on shirt. This Heat Transfer Paper is designed for transferring ink jet images to dark or other colored garments and substrates. The product contains an opaque layer to hide the color of the substrate and allow for photo-quality transfers. This product can be cut with a cutter/plotter, die and kiss-cut. Substrates include: T-shirts, sweatshirts, mouse pads, puzzles, and leather goods. Choose garments that have a tight weave.

STORAGE AND HANDLING OF HEAT TRANSFER PAPERSStore Heat Transfer Papers in a cool, dry area and do not remove from carton or polybag until you are ready to use.
IMPORTANTWe thoroughly test each of our products on various substrates using different transfer equipment (including many different home irons). However, it is impossible for us to duplicate all variables using all substrates and transfer equipment. Therefore, it is essential that you test the paper prior to production using your equipment, methods, and substrate material. Heat presses vary in accuracy. Conduct tests to determine the best time and temperature to use with your equipment. The Seller’s and Manufacturer’s maximum obligation shall be to replace any paper that has proven to be defective. Neither the Seller nor the Manufacturer shall be liable for any injury, direct or consequential, arising out of the use of, or inability to use this paper.
