Brother P-touch 1800 User Manual page 14

White garments made from 100% cotton with a plain (smooth) surface are best for
iron-on transfers.
You can also make transfers to garments made from 100% linen or cotton/polyes-
ter blends as long as they have a plain (smooth) surface.
The label will not adhere properly to any cloth with a rough surface, such as pile
or denim, or with a waterproof surface. Heat-sensitive materials, such as nylon,
acetate or other similar fibres, are also unsuitable as they may be damaged when
pressing with an iron at a high temperature.
Do not move the iron while pressing, otherwise the label may move out of the
desired position. Press the iron straight down onto the cloth.
After the backing tape has been removed, the transferred label may appear glossy.
In addition, some white spots may have appeared on the label if it was touched
while the backing tape was peeled off. These can be removed by ironing over the
label with a piece of cloth placed between the label and the iron.
Since the transferred label cannot be removed once it is applied, make all transfers
with care.
Washing:
Garments with transfer labels can be washed over 20 times if the label has been trans-
ferred correctly. Normal biological and non-biological household detergents may be
used.
The label may become discoloured if the garment is placed in bleach for an extended
length of time.
Be careful that hard objects such as buckles or buttons do not come into contact with the
label during the wash.
Do not dry clean garments which have had transfer labels applied.
Drying:
Garments with transfer labels may be dried either inside or outside out.
Do not tumble dry. The transfers will come off and may stick to other items of clothing.
