What you need
T-shirt transfer paper, an inkjet printer, an iron and a flat, hard and smooth surface to iron on. A sheet of standard white copier paper and a suitable item to transfer onto, such as a white or pastel coloured T-shirt, baseball cap, boxer shorts, cloth covered mousepad, cotton napkins, handkerchiefs, etc.
Printing
Store the transfer paper in it's original packaging, in a cool dry place.
Only print onto the unprinted, coated side of the transfer film. Select the "MIRROR IMAGE " mode on your printer.
Use single sheet feed only.
Printer settings: Transfer Paper Mode, if available or Normal Paper, using Best Quality.
If the colour bleeds reduce the ink level accordingly (10-15%)
Before transferring leave the image to dry for approx. 5 mins. Cut out your motif, leaving as narrow a border as possible, 1-5mm around the edge.
Good tip: First print the desired motif onto a standard inkjet paper to check that the size and colour are correct and that the motif has been printed in reverse for right reading after transfer.
Transferring
Prepare a stable, heat resistant surface suitable for ironing on.
Preheat the iron to the highest setting (Takes around 5-10 mins). Recommended iron temperature 210c (410F),
Do NOT use a travel iron. DONT USE THE STEAM ON YOUR IRON.
Briefly iron the fabric to ensure that it is completely smooth, then place the transfer film onto the required area with the printed image facing downwards.
Do NOT use the steam function.
Make sure that the heat is evenly transferred across the entire area.
Iron the transfer film applying as much pressure as possible.
When moving the iron LESS pressure should be used.
Don't forget the corners and edges!
In order to achieve a MATT finish remove the release paper while it is still HOT. Peel away from the fabric starting in one corner in a smooth even movement.
For a GLOSSY finish allow the transfer to cool then peel off the release paper in a smooth even movement, starting in one corner.
Fixing
The fixing process removes an surplus ink from the transfer and gives the transfer a fabric like texture.
Matt Finish: Allow the transfer to cool, then cover with a sheet of standard white copy paper and press once again with the iron fro 5-10 seconds. Immediately remove the paper whilst it is still hot.
Glossy Finish: As above except use grease proof paper instead of copier paper and only remove when Cold.
Mousepads: Finishing only possible with greaseproof paper.
Washing
Wash the garment / fabric before first use.
Wait 24 hours before washing for the first time (transfer drying time)
Fabrics bearing transfer are machine washable up to 40C (check your fabric or garment is washable upto this temperature!). Always wash garments inside out.
Do not use bleach or agressive washing detergents.
Do not tumble dry.
Avoid ironing directly over the transferred motif. Cover first with white copier paper, a sheet of greaseproof paper or iron on the reverse side.
Tip: you can brighten the colours by repeating the fixing process
