INSTANT-LETTERING TAPE (RUB-ON TRANSFERS)
Instant-lettering tape is used to transfer your text onto paper. After printing the text onto
instant-lettering tape and cutting off the label, position the label with its non-printed side fac-
ing up on a sheet of paper. By simply rubbing the instant lettering tape’s non-printed side with
the enclosed stick, you can transfer the text directly onto the paper.
☞
Hold the tape very firmly and do not move it while rubbing the tape.
IRON-ON TRANSFER TAPE
Iron-on transfer tape is used to transfer your text onto garments using an iron.
1

p
to print the text, then hold down
c
and press
_
to cut off the label.
2
Iron the garment to flatten it before transferring the text.
3
Place the label on the garment at the location where you wish the text to be transferred.
4
Set the iron to cotton (150 to 180 ˚C), and then press down on the label with the iron for
about 15 seconds.
5
Allow the iron-on transfer to cool (for about 60 seconds), and then carefully remove the
backing paper.
☞
White garments made from 100% cotton with a plain (smooth) surface are best for 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 label will not adhere properly to any cloth with a rough surface, such as pile or
denim, or with a waterproof surface. Heat-sensitive materials, such as nylon, acetate or
other similar fibres, are also unsuitable as they may be damaged when pressing with an
iron at a high temperature.
