    these are transfers for color laser copiers, not desktop printers - tried a different brand and they work fine. of course they are MUCH more $$. thanks!

    Where is the paper jamming? At the by-pass tray or the fixing unit? If it get jammed going in, you need to clean your paper feed rollers. If it gets jammed it maybe because you are using transfers for a printer, not for a copier. The temputure in the fixing unit in a copier is alot Higher then in a printer. That may be the problem. Also, when you choose the bypass do you select the paper type?

Make sure you have the size corrrect on the tray setting, if you have to you can create a custom size paper.
Also set the paper or media type to Heavy 2. Or heavyweight 2.

Prints one page and jams, displays paper jam
so it does print and exit one page before it jams? if so you have something wrong with the exit sensor. if it does not feed it all the way thru it might not be feeding paper in to the machine fast enough. the feed tires might be dirty.

Can i transfer my designs on a t-shirt with the print shop 2?
Any image can be added to a T shirt. You can buy specific paper which you print reverse on and then iron or take the image to a local T shirt shop. I used to run one and we would charge around 15 pounds including the clothing. Full colour upto A3 is the norm

We're trying to print on paper to make a tshirt transfer on the HP 3050 j610 but it keeps getting caught. Help!
T-shirt transfers are usually very thick paper in my experience. In the printer menu either on your computer or on the printer itself, try changing the paper type to card stock and see it that helps.

I am not sure what kind of transfers you are using, but I believe you need ones specific to laser printers if you are sending it through one. The transfers I have used are designed to seperate with the addition of heat (iron-on) and, as laserjet printers apply heat in order to bind toner to a page, inkjet transfers may separate prematurely, possibly causing damage to the printer.

Try putting a piece of paper in the manual feed tray which is right above the paper tray.

For thicker paper its better to put in the manual feed.

My daughter fed an inkjet iron on transfer and is
Sometimes paper jams (and iron on jams) can cause the paper (or iron on) to get stuck in areas that are not visible to you, usually on the sides of where the paper would go. I don't know the specifics of your particular printer, but I would take a look at the guides on the side of the paper path and there are usually several screws that you can remove or loosen so that you can verify that the paper path is clear. Hope this helps and good luck!

Any new tips on how to remove the label from the back of the transfer?
These are IRON ON transfers that you do just that.

I bought some and wondered exactly that question until I read the instructions a little more.

Heads up it can take quite a bit f heat to get the best results. I was afraid of burning the Teeshirt but they worked great.

Also take great care removing the backing when you have ironed it on as I nearly pulled it back off the t shirt in a couple of places. I just laid it flat and used a little more heat in the affected area.

Iron on transfers lexmark x1290
In your printer driver, select the highest dpi setting and the correct paper setting for your type of printer:

Iron-ons are very waxy and the ink may not adhere if not put on thickly. Bellow are some suggested printer settings. For the best results check your printer manual or with your printer's manufacture. CANON: T-shirt transfers.
EPSON: High quality glossy paper or special coated paper, depending on the model.
HEWLETT-PACKARD: High quality glossy paper.
Lexmark: T-shirt transfers.
IMPORTANT: Then set the paper thickness lever on your printer for standard paper. You want the ink nozzles very close to the page.

The mfc cant print any mirrow images by itself.

But why do you need to print a mirrow? as far as I remember is the print straight right thru. The foil has to be turned onto the shirt before you run the iron?!!!
