HOW TO USE LIGHT & DARK HEAT TRANSFER PAPER:
1. Prep your artwork on a design program such as Photoshop (http://bit.ly/Creative-Cloud1). LIGHT: Flip the image so that it is mirrored. DARK: Do not flip the image.
2. Test print on regular paper. Adjust the design and size as needed, then print it out on the iron-on transfer paper.
3. Cut out the image. LIGHT: Whatever is left white will be transferred as a clear film. DARK: If you leave any white it will be transferred as white so make sure your cut thoroughly.
4. Prep the ironing surface to use by placing a pillowcase on it. Place the t-shirt on top.
5. LIGHT: Place the cut out transfer paper facing down on the shirt in the are you want. DARK: Place the cut outs facing up on the shirt. Place the tissue paper that comes in the packet on top of the transfer sheet.
6. Iron the transfer paper with back & forth motions. Be sure to have your iron set to no steam. Continue ironing for the length of time according to the size of your artwork. LIGHT: full page- 3 mins, 1/2 page- 90 secs, 1/4 page- 45 secs. DARK: full page- 2 mins, 1/2 page- 1 min, 1/4 page- 40 sec.
7. Let the shirt cool for 2 minutes and then peel on the transfer paper starting from an edge.
HOW TO WASH:
- Wash inside out using a cold water cycle and low spin.
- Tumble dry with the lowest temperature possible or hang dry.
