Iron-on transfer tape
Anything you print on iron-on transfer tape can
be transferred onto fabrics.
1
Iron the garment to flatten it before transfer-
ring the text.
2
Place the label at the desired position on
the garment with the label’s non-printed
side facing up.
3
Set the iron to cotton (150 to 180 °C), and
then press down on the label with the iron
for about 15 seconds.
4
Allow the iron-on transfer to cool (for about
60 seconds), and then carefully remove the
backing tape.
Washing
Garments with iron-ons can be washed over 20
times if the iron-on has been transferred cor-
rectly. General household detergents may be
used.
The iron-on may become discoloured if the gar-
ment is placed in bleach for an extended length
of time.
Be careful that hard objects, such as buckles or
buttons, do not come into contact with the iron-
on in the wash.
Do not dry clean garments which have had
iron-on transfers applied.
NOTE
☞
Although the iron-on transfers are non-toxic, do
not place them in your mouth.
☞
Do not store iron-on transfer tape cassettes in
areas exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity
or dust.
NOTE
☞
White garments made from 100% cotton with a
plain (smooth) surface are best for making 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 iron-on will not adhere properly to any
cloth with a rough surface, such as pile or
denim, or with a waterproof surface. Heat-sen-
sitive materials, such as nylon, acetate or other
similar fibres, are unsuitable since they may be
damaged when pressed with an iron at a high
temperature.
☞
Press the iron straight down onto the cloth. Do
not move the iron while pressing, otherwise the
label may move out of desired position.
☞
After the backing tape has been removed, the
transferred iron-on may appear glossy. In addi-
tion, some white spots may have appeared on
the iron-on if it was touched while the backing
tape was peeled off. These can be removed by
ironing over the iron-on transfer with a piece of
cloth placed between it and the iron.
☞
The iron-on transfer will have a white back-
ground if it is ironed onto coloured cloth.
☞
Since the transferred iron-on cannot be
removed once it is applied, make all transfers
with care.
