Cloth to transfer the image to (T-shirt, handkerchief, etc.)
Most cloth that is fairly smooth will work fine. The transferred image may peel
off in the laundry if the cloth stretches or shrinks a lot, does not withstand heat
well, or has a nap. These kinds of cloth should be avoided.
Note
Use iron-ons only on white cloth. Black or other colors will af-
fect the printed color of the image.
Step 1

Prepare the Image to Be Printed
Use an application and create the data to be printed.
There are no special considerations for creating the data. Create
the data just as you would for black or full color printing.
Note
•
Because each iron-on transfer sheet can only be printed on
once, try to use as much of the sheet as possible. If a 1/2 inch
gap is left between images, several images can be printed on
a single sheet. (Use a single sheet to create an image for
several different pieces of cloth.)
•
Large images that require more than one sheet can also be
created.

Install the Ink Cartridges and Load the Iron-On Trans-
fer Sheet into the Printer
1. Install the ink cartridges into the ink cartridge holders.
Note
When printing on iron-on transfer sheets, use only standard color
cyan, magenta, yellow, or black ink cartridges. Do not use me-
tallic ink cartridges.
2. Set the paper feed switch to position "M".
