The following instructions are a general guideline and may not apply to all of our heat transfer papers.
Please review the product instructions of the individual paper you are using for complete details.

General Guidelines:
Preparing Your Image

• Make sure your image is in reflection or mirror image before printing (not applicable for Opaque transfer papers or 'colour copier' transfer paper).
• It is not necessary to print your image with oversaturated colours as it will not enhance the quality of the image in most cases*.
• Print image on coated side of transfer paper. The reserve side will have grids or lines.
• Allow drying time before handling.
• Trim your transfer with a paper trimmer or scissors.

Heat Press Application

• Preheat your press.  Use the temperature guidelines provided with the heat transfer paper you will be using.
• For best results, pre-heat garment for a few seconds to remove wrinkles.  Allow garment to cool.
• Most transfer papers require you to place your printed transfer image face down onto fabric and press for approx 15-20 seconds (see your heat press manual and transfer paper for exact timing).
• Check your transfer paper instructions to indicate if you can peel the transfer hot or if it requires to be completely cooled down.
   

Hand Iron Application

• Not all transfer papers are compatible with using a hand iron application.  Consult your heat transfer paper for instructions.
• Preheat your iron to the highest setting without steam.
• Before beginning, make sure you have a smooth dry surface for ironing. 
• It is recommended to use a hard, smooth and non-porous surface under your garment, not an ironing board.
• Position the transfer paper image side down onto the garment.
• Using firm pressure, slowly run the iron over the entire surface evenly ensuring you overlap areas for approx 2-5 minutes (depending on your individual transfer paper).
• Check your transfer paper instructions to indicate if you can peel the transfer hot or if it requires to be completely cooled down.
   

Washing Instructions

• Turn your garment inside out when placing in the washer.
• We do not recommend using a dryer as this will shorten the lifespan quality of the transferred image.
• Wash according to the garments fabric instructions.
• Do not bleach.

Storing Your Transfer Paper

• Store unused transfer paper in a flat, dry, cool area in a sealed bag to prevent moisture.
