What you need

• Inkjet printer
• New, white cotton or cotton/poly blend fabric. Using this transfer paper on colored fabric will result in the fabric
color showing through the entire design.
• Pillowcase (this will be placed between your fabric and ironing surface)

ironing)
• Ironing surface (must be smooth, hard and non-porous. Do not use an ironing board.)

Preparing your fabric for transfer

Refer to the label to be sure your fabric is cotton or a cotton/poly blend. Iron your fabric, if necessary, to remove
any wrinkles. Allow fabric to cool before applying transfer.

Designing your transfer

You may use any computer software program that manipulates then prints images. The most commonly used are
Microsoft Word and PowerPoint or Adobe
®
mind that this transfer is translucent and omit or void areas within the design will remain translucent after printing.

Printing your transfer

1. Your image must be printed as a REVERSE OR MIRROR IMAGE. This is especially important if your image
includes letters or numbers. Refer to your printer manual for instructions on settings to achieve a reversed or
mirrored image. If your printer does not have any of these options, you must reverse the image through your
software application.
2. Test Print: We recommend FIRST printing your image on a plain piece of paper to ensure desired size and
image location. (Note: You may do this is in fast or draft mode to conserve ink.)
3. Print on the blank side of the transfer. Load the transfer
paper into your printer according to your printer type.
4. Select Print from the File menu.
5. Click Preferences, Properties or Options (depending
on your printer) from the Print window.
6. Change the printer settings using the closest paper
type for Iron-On T-Shirt Transfers. Allow print to dry
for at least 30 minutes before proceeding to transfer.
For best results, read all instructions before proceeding!
