I want to know if I can use transfer paper with the DeskJet 2710 all in one printer to creat T-shirt designs

Hi @HEaHommie1,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand the HP DeskJet 2710 likely won't work well for printing on transfer paper for T-shirt designs. Here's why:

  • Inkjet printers: The DeskJet 2710 is an inkjet printer. These printers use water-based inks that don't adhere well to fabrics like cotton, commonly used in T-shirts.
  • Heat transfer: Transfer paper for T-shirts typically requires a heat press to activate the transfer of the design onto the fabric. The DeskJet 2710 doesn't have this functionality.

Alternatives for T-shirt designs:

  • Iron-on transfers: Look for iron-on transfer paper specifically designed for inkjet printers. These papers use a special coating that activates with heat from an iron.
  • Sublimation printing: This method involves transferring designs onto polyester fabrics using a special heat press and sublimation inks. However, it requires a different type of printer altogether.

 

Refer to this document:  HP DeskJet 2710 All-in-One Printer User manual

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
