InstaCustoms does NOT use transfer paper but we need to warn you anyway because transfer paper printers are a HUGE problem in the industry. Transfer paper is what most print shops use when they don’t use Direct to Garment or Direct to Film. Most of these places will never tell you that they use transfer paper, so be very careful. They’ll usually print the shirts when it’s out of your sight, so be careful. Transfer paper is quite simply the worst type of printing method, so please do not waste your money. Be careful. Transfer paper is a sheet of “special” paper that is printed on a home printer. Once this sheet is printed, they then press the transfer paper onto your shirt. This “paper” will make it feel like you’re wearing a garbage bag on your shirt. When you wash it, it’ll instantly crack, peel, and fade.. Please be very careful. Don’t accept this printing method even if they offer it for free.
