NuFun Activities Printable Iron-on Heat Transfer Paper for Wood, 5 Sheets 8.5 x 11 inch, Long Lasting, Durable, Professional Quality, Easy DIY, Non-Toxic, Made in The USA

I’ve been wanting to make some wood puzzles and I was not finding any image to wood transfer products at my local craft shops.This product does an excellent job, it’s not too expensive, and I went from print to cutting in less that 20 minutes.The only issue I experienced was in heating the thin plywood caused a bit of warping but that’s to be expected and not a result of the product.

I've used these for a while. Started selling my artwork and building a market booth last year. Wanted to make my own signs and transfer some of my images on wood panels (8" x 10") to experiment with for drawing and painting into. You definitely have to watch the heat. There's no magic formula or solution to get it right. The transfer can bubble and crack if you hold your heat source in one place for too long. This is evident in my experimentation. I do have a tiny craft iron that I will use next time to spot touch up places that haven't adhered completely. Putting the iron in a spot already well adhered is a big problem for me. I bought an normal non-steam iron (couldn't afford a heat press!) that has no holes in the bottom to give a more even heat distribution. I made a large sign using 4-5 pieces to make an 18" round sign. This was tricky because I can line them up perfectly, but there is shrinkage! The lined up edges pull apart. Had to adjust for that and the join was pretty obvious to me. I drew into the image and was able to disguise some of it. If I was doing smaller images, I think it would be much easier. Overall, it's an amazing way to transfer images onto wood. Keep in mind, they're not meant to be like they are printed on paper. It's certainly different than my prints and postcards, but that's kind of the point. I put a pastel ground over the top of the image and draw with pen and ink, pastel, chalk and oil pencils. The surface is a bit slick otherwise. I wish I could see what people are doing who aren't getting good results. The panels were done recently and the sign was the first thing I did last summer. Oh and don't forget to remove the backing or put the parchment over top. Oops. I've done both of those things. Yikes.

If you're wondering "does it really work"... the answer is yes. It might come out a little duller than you're hoping for, at least it did in my project, but it still was able to transfer the image nicely and I didn't have to worry about mirroring the image. You just print from your home printer and you're good to go. I have an old Canon MP495 ink-jet printer. I was surprised it was able to print all the images I needed. Perhaps if I had an updated model the images might not have looked as muted as they did but we'll never know.Con 1: It's 5 pages per kit. Every one of my 5 had some type of perforating line on them (see attached image) but I was only doing small 3"x3" pictures so I worked around that. I didn't have a choice because the following day was the day I needed the project done.Con 2: The instructions page gives you suggestions for printing the best quality image. I didn't see those recommendations until I had already printed 2 images. When I did follow the recommendations it actually messed the image up by dropping globs of ink here and there. So that wasted my precious ink but luckily I still had enough ink and transfer pages left to print again.Con 3: There are also some recommendations for pressing the image. There are even specifics about using a Cricut heat press, which I used. The only issue was that the parchment paper provided stuck to my image when it was heated up. When I tried to remove the paper it pulled some image up... that suckedOther than those things it worked pretty well. I would buy it again... sooner than the day before I needed the project to be done though... so I could have time to play around with it and figure out how to best work it.

It had been a pain in the butt to find a laser printer, so I’m happy that this is even a thing it makes photo transferring to wood a breeze, and you don’t have to mess with mod podge or all the wet paper getting everywhere! It applied to the word very nicely and I ran into a problems. It was a piece of cake. Will definitely be purchasing again

I messed up the first 4 intents, finally noticed that it don't work pretty good with dark colors, those got burned and peeled off the surface, I used a domestic iron at the highest temperature as stated on the instructions, don't do that, reduce the temperature a little bit. The insturctions also stated to lef with the iron for 5 minutes DON'T DO THAT!!!, 20 seconds finally worked for me, keep trying on count of 10 seconds every time until the white area becomes transparent, don't let to cool down as soon as you remove the iron remove the backer or it will stick on the transfer. I had some nice results at the end. It works but the material is pretty expensive.

Does an excellent job and is simple to use

This product has not worked well for me, although I followed all instructions to the letter. The results just did not look good.

used this to "transfer" some bold text to a wooden (cigar) box. it did work. (also added 2 coats of poly gel)however, it isn't technically a transfer imho. rather, is a moderately thick film, nearly as think as a sheet of copy paper.after you peel the backing, you iron the film until it turns transparent. as other reviewers mentioned, avoid sliding the design while you iron it.after the film is transparent you can see the edges where the film is higher than the wood.I cut very closely around my text and it looked good. But next time I would try to apply a long strip that extended on the whole face of the box so you wouldn't see where the film was higher than the rest.
