Pros and cons
Pros
- One sheet can be printed with a full-color design, avoiding the need to assemble a design from multiple heat-transfer layers.
- The 20-sheet pack is suited to repeated projects rather than a single transfer.
Cons
- Use is limited by the stated light-fabric design, so buyers seeking transfer material for dark fabrics should look for a product specified for that purpose.
