Printing

• Use single sheet feeding only
• Print on the coated, rough side of the transfer paper making sure you produce a right reading image (not mirror Image!)
• NB: Do not use T-Shirt Transfer Setting. For best results use high resolution or photo quality option
• Trim away the unprinted paper around your image.

Iron on Transfer

• Iron on a hard surface, NOT an ironing board. Place a pillowcase or t-shirt between your hard surface and your garment to allow the heat to penetrate the transfer.
• Remove paperbacking from transfer film. Tip: Tear paperbacking slightly, about ¼ inch,this should be done if possible in one of the image’s lighter areas. Once torn, the backing paper is extremely easy to remove.
• Position imaged transfer film on garment with printed side face up
• Cover imaged transfer film with enclosed silicon paper. This is to protect the imaged transfer film.
• Adjust iron at highest temperature setting
• Step press, with firm pressure, slowly along each side of the image.
• Hold each press for 45 seconds, ensure all edges and corners are firmly pressed.
• Continue to step press over the entire image, again each step press should be held for 45 seconds until entire image has been pressed and all areas have been pressed for 45 seconds each.
• Allow silicon to cool completely and peel when cold.
• Total ironing time should be 5 – 6 minutes for an A4 size image
