While a Teflon sheet can be used to cover the opaque film, you may have to compensate by adding time to heating the transfer. Teflon has a tendency to block the heat from the press to the transfer. This is the reason we recommend silicone sheets.
Hello DOUG. I just wanted to say that your video commentary was very detailed, clear and informative. Keep up the great work and thanks for the video tutorial :-).
Sublimation inks require 400(F) in order for the ink to activate. The Neenah Jet-Opaque II transfers at 350(F), so overheating the transfer to compensate for the sublimation inks will damage the film emulsion layer.
well crap, the instructions I got said to use the backing sheet when ironing it on the shirt.... now the paper is stuck to the image and I've ruined a $25 shirt. damn
It is recommended that you use Neenah Jet Opaque II material with dark t-shirts that are 100% cotton. If you use a cotton/poly blend t-shirt, there is the possibility that the poly dyes in your dark garment may bleed into the white opaque material under heat and pressure from your press. Please refer to our video "Dealing with Dye Migration - Transfer Paper Tutorial" on CondeTV or RUclips for more information.
We would not recommend using any transfer paper for printing socks. We suggest using a direct-to-garment (DTG) printer for printing 100% cotton socks or dye sublimation printing for 100% poly socks.
i want to press a design that has several dog images on the design.. what's a trick to getting all the small images on the shirt.. do i need to place each one by hand or is there a "transfer tape" that i can use to get these from the backing onto the shirt... thanks!
When using an optical cutter - is there a trick to peeling away the unwanted material? I have a design with a LOT of background to remove. help please.
Usually, tearing a corner of the backing sheet will allow you to grab the film and pull away the excess material. Also, you could use an exacto knife or tweesers to help you remove the excess material. If you are trying to lift "multiple cut pieces" from the backing sheet (after removing excess film), be careful with your application tape or application film. Do not use heavy pressure when applying your application tape. The backing sheet of Neenah JetOpaque II is not silicone coated. This may cause the application tape to stick to the backing sheet and not release.
Why dont you bend the shirt or run your fingers over it so the potential buyer can get a feel for the softness or texture? It's well know that there opaque transfer papers can be very plastic-ky feeling.
If I use a font Design, how to I align all the leters ??? There is a transfer mask or something to use with this paper ? Thank you very much for your concern.
You will set up your design with your graphic software, like Corel or PhotoShop, and then print it out on the paper. Then you use a heat press to fix it in place. The letters will stay on the paper in the correct spots as you designed it in your art program.
+GuillermoBelieber ...............Yes, if your material is 100% cotton. Usually, a thicker material may requires more time in the heat press to properly bond the film to the material. If you are using a cotton / poly blend or synthetic material, then you should use a different ink-jet opaque material.
Technically, this material can be used on any 100% cotton garment, no matter the color. However, if your artwork will allow you to use a transfer paper for white or light-color garments, then you may get better results and save some money. If your artwork is "darker" than the material, then go with a white/light transfer. If your artwork is "lighter" than the garment, then use the Neenah JetOpaque II.
+kathy bergman This is a very subjective question. We test under 25 "hot wash / hot dry" cycles to determine durability. However, the type of ink, material content, water conditions and care of garment will all play a factor in durability. Suggest you obtain samples and perform your own testing.
+kathy bergman Yes, Condé supplies samples of Neenah Jet-Opaque II and Neenah 3G Jet Opaque for testing. Please contact your Condé Account Manager for more information. If you do not have an Account Manager with Condé, then contact Elizabeth Anderson at (800) 826-6332, ext. 231 or e-mail eanderson@conde.com for a sample request.
Neenah Jet Opaque II material should only be used on 100% cotton garments. Use of this product with garments containing polyester content may cause "dye migration" to the material. For more information on "dye migration", please see the following CondeTV video: Dealing with Dye Migration - Transfer Paper Tutorial ruclips.net/video/XTkfqFm5sE4/видео.html
Ano Devdariani If you do not have a printer yet, may we suggest dye sublimation? It's an ink based system that produces polyester garments that have no "hand" or feel to the imprinted area. You would have to get a printer and set it up with sublimation inks. We have many videos on dye sub as it is our main focus. ruclips.net/video/-5IehlK9NT4/видео.html
This depends on the method used to cut the letters from the opaque material. If you are cutting out printed pieces by hand, then any ink-jet opaque material would work. If you are using an optical or vinyl cutter, then I would recommend Condé JetMPrints Opaque. The backing sheet of Condé JetMPrints Opaque is silicone coated. This means your application film or application tape will not stick to the backing sheet when you are trying to remove contour-cut objects.
Excellent video… Excellent product still! 🙏🏾❤️ Thanks 🙏🏾

can the item be ironed normally after it's washed.
So long as your iron is not over 400 degrees and you leave it in one spot right on the image for a long time. Light ironing is good.
would transfer paper would work with black hoodies and sweaters?
+GuillermoBelieber ...............Yes, if your material is 100% cotton. Usually, a thicker material may requires more time in the heat press to properly bond the film to the material. If you are using a cotton / poly blend or synthetic material, then you should use a different ink-jet opaque material.
Can I use this for light colored shirts?
Technically, this material can be used on any 100% cotton garment, no matter the color. However, if your artwork will allow you to use a transfer paper for white or light-color garments, then you may get better results and save some money. If your artwork is "darker" than the material, then go with a white/light transfer. If your artwork is "lighter" than the garment, then use the Neenah JetOpaque II.

can I use an iron to tranfer the image?
Yes, if your iron has controllable temperatures.
How to press jet opaque II
this paper use 100% polyester?

What kind of paper would you recommend if I want to put names or words on a dark colored t-shirts?
This depends on the method used to cut the letters from the opaque material. If you are cutting out printed pieces by hand, then any ink-jet opaque material would work.
