General Use

This traditional Inkjet paper is a specially coated paper that requires correct printer settings. Some experimentation might be required to obtain best results with your printer. Suitable for white & light coloured Fabrics in 100% Cotton or Poly/Cotton Blends. Also suitable for printing Fabric Topped Mouse Mats and coasters.

Printing

  • Mirror Image function - Image must always be produced in reverse to ensure right reading image once pressed on garment. Most printers refer to this as ‘Flip Horizontal’.
  • Paper setting – For most printers set paper type to ‘Plain Paper’ or ‘T-shirt TransferSetting.
  • Image setting – Set Image quality for 360 or 720 dpi
  • Inkjet Saturation – Inkjet transfer paper can be affected by humidity, exposing paper to humidity can reduce its ability to absorb ink and can lead to image bleeding. In areas of high humidity or if image bleeding is experienced reduce your ink and Saturation levels as required.
