Iron-On Transfer Tape - Brother P-touch 9400 User Manual

Iron-on transfer tape

Anything you print on iron-on transfer tape can
be transferred onto fabrics.
NOTE
Although the iron-on transfers are non-toxic, do
not place them in your mouth.
Do not store iron-on transfer tape cassettes in
areas exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity
or dust.
1 Iron the garment to flatten it before transfer-
ring the text.
2 Place the label at the desired position on
the garment with the label's non-printed
side facing up.
3 Set the iron to cotton (150 to 180 °C), and
then press down on the label with the iron
for about 15 seconds.
4 Allow the iron-on transfer to cool (for about
60 seconds), and then carefully remove the
backing tape.
Ch. 4 Using Labels and Stamps
NOTE
White garments made from 100% cotton with a
plain (smooth) surface are best for making iron-
on transfers.
You can also make transfers to garments made
from 100% linen or cotton/polyester blends as
long as they have a plain (smooth) surface.
The iron-on will not adhere properly to any
cloth with a rough surface, such as pile or
denim, or with a waterproof surface. Heat-sen-
sitive materials, such as nylon, acetate or other
similar fibres, are unsuitable since they may be
damaged when pressed with an iron at a high
temperature.
Press the iron straight down onto the cloth. Do
not move the iron while pressing, otherwise the
label may move out of desired position.
After the backing tape has been removed, the
transferred iron-on may appear glossy. In addi-
tion, some white spots may have appeared on
the iron-on if it was touched while the backing
tape was peeled off. These can be removed by
ironing over the iron-on transfer with a piece of
cloth placed between it and the iron.
The iron-on transfer will have a white back-
ground if it is ironed onto coloured cloth.
Since the transferred iron-on cannot be
removed once it is applied, make all transfers
with care.
Washing
Garments with iron-ons can be washed over 20
times if the iron-on has been transferred cor-
rectly. General household detergents may be
used.
The iron-on may become discoloured if the gar-
ment 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 iron-
on in the wash.
Do not dry clean garments which have had
iron-on transfers applied.
