Color Textiles Color Plus fabrics come paper-backed and ready to print.
The fabrics run smoothly through all thermal and piezo printers and can be profiled like paper. Best of all, no steaming is required! They work so well, HP fully supports the ColorPlus fabrics in their printers.
Transfer images from iron-on are not consistent in quality and are difficult to match.
Iron on fabrics may not be applied to all fabrics – they work OK on knits but do not work on woven fabric.
Iron-on transfers alter the 'hand' of the fabric, the fabric often feels rigid, or plastic-like.
Iron-on images lose color quickly when washed.
Iron-on transfers are difficult to handle when applying – the fabric is easily stretched which distorts the image if it is not absolutely perfect.
To print an Iron-on Transfer you must use a printer and software that supports ‘mirror images.’ Handling a ‘mirror image’ is difficult for most people as it requires upside-down placement in order to be properly ironed on. It is labor-intensive and usually requires several attempts to get it right!
Fabrics become wrinkled after the first wash after using and Iron-on transfer and do not lay flat thereafter.
…And, most importantly, the color quality and gamut of an iron-on is much less vivid than the same image created with Color Plus Fabrics!
