FAQ

 

 

1)

 

When

 

transferring

 

images

 

with

 

halftones,

 

it’s

 

possible

 

that

 

some

 

of

 

the

 

adhesive

 

will

 

not

 

transfer

 

over

 

to

 

the

 

toner

 

during

 

the

 

first

 

step.

 

If

 

you

 

see

 

this

 

happen

 

with

 

your

 

image,

 

just

 

reprint

 

the

 

image

 

and

 

then

 

print

 

a

 

layer

 

of

 

white

 

behind

 

(On

 

top)

 

of

 

the

 

image

 

to

 

thicken

 

up

 

the

 

density

 

and

 

give

 

the

 

adhesive

 

something

 

to

 

stick

 

to.

 

Halftone

 

colors

 

use

 

much

 

less

 

toner.

 

Printing

 

the

 

white

 

over

 

the

 

image

 

will

 

fill

 

in

 

the

 

gaps,

 

will;

 

not

 

change

 

the

 

color,

 

but

 

gives

 

the

 

adhesive

 

something

 

to

 

stick

 

to..

 

To

 

do

 

this,

 

print

 

your

 

image

 

in

 

color

 

as

 

normal,

 

Then

 

using

 

a

 

graphics

 

program,

 

create

 

an

 

outline

 

of

 

the

 

image

 

slightly

 

smaller

 

than

 

the

 

actual

 

size,

 

and

 

fill

 

that

 

outline

 

in

 

with

 

Red

 

204.

 

(Red

 

204

 

=

 

bright

 

white)

 

 

2)

 

Lay

 

your

 

shirt

 

out

 

on

 

a

 

table

 

and

 

carefully

 

position

 

the

 

transfer

 

sheet

 

in

 

the

 

proper

 

place.

  

Take

 

your

 

time

 

in

 

this

 

step

 

because

 

once

 

it’s

 

pressed

 

you

 

cannot

 

make

 

changes.

 

Use

 

a

 

piece

 

of

 

scotch

 

tape

 

folded

 

over

 

on

 

one

 

side

 

to

 

hold

 

your

 

transfer

 

paper

 

in

 

place

 

on

 

your

 

shirt

 

when

 

moving

 

your

 

garment

 

over

 

to

 

the

 

press

 

so

 

it

 

stays

 

in

 

place.

 

The

 

tape

 

will

 

not

 

melt

 

and

 

can

 

be

 

removed

 

after

 

the

 

press

 

is

 

complete

 

without

 

damage

 

to

 

the

 

garment.

 

 

3)

 

The

 

use

 

of

 

a

 

HOT

 

laminator

 

is

 

highly

 

suggested

 

before

 

pressing

 

the

 

transfer

 

sheet

 

and

 

adhesive

 

sheets

 

together

 

in

 

order

 

to

 

avoid

 

areas

 

where

 

the

 

adhesive

 

does

 

not

 

transfer

 

to

 

the

 

toner

 

in

 

the

 

first

 

step

 

when

 

using

 

2

 

step

 

paper.

 

This

 

step

 

is

 

necessary

 

to

 

pre

active

 

the

 

adhesive.

 

If

 

you

 

do

 

not

 

have

 

a

 

laminator

 

available,

 

you

 

can

 

alternatively

 

choose

 

from

 

these

 

two

 

options:

 

1.

 

Set

 

the

 

heat

 

to

 

275

 

degrees

 

for

 

45

 

seconds

 

2.

 

Set

 

the

 

heat

 

to

 

250

 

degrees

 

for

 

30

 

seconds,

 

press,

 

then

 

repeat

 

the

 

process

 

again

 

with

 

a

 

second

 

press

 

at

 

250

 

degrees

 

for

 

30

 

seconds

  

 

4)

 

Fold

 

a

 

corner

 

of

 

the

 

adhesive

 

over

 

or

 

offset

 

the

 

papers

 

so

 

you

 

can

 

peel

 

the

 

adhesive

 

off

 

easily

 

5)

 

When

 

pressing

 

the

 

adhesive

 

to

 

the

 

image,

 

place

 

the

 

sheets

 

on

 

the

 

press

 

with

 

the

 

adhesive

 

on

 

top.

 

6)

 

When

 

peeling

 

the

 

adhesive

 

off

 

the

 

image,

 

hold

 

the

 

image

 

paper

 

on

 

the

 

bottom

 

and

 

pull

 

the

 

adhesive

 

paper

 

off

 

at

 

180

 

degrees.

 

(Straight

 

back)

 

the

 

steep

 

angle

 

gives

 

a

 

cleaner

 

pull.

 

7)

 

Before

 

pressing

 

the

 

image

 

to

 

the

 

material,

 

pre

 

stretch

 

the

 

cloth

 

where

 

the

 

image

 

is

 

to

 

be

 

applied

 

8)

 

After

 

RE

pressing

 

your

 

finished

 

shirt,

 

stretch

 

the

 

fabric

 

out

 

a

 

bit

 

while

 

on

 

the

 

press.

 

9)

 

In

 

the

 

event

 

that

 

some

 

residue

 

is

 

left

 

surrounding

 

the

 

image

 

after

 

pulling

 

the

 

transfer

 

sheet

 

away

 

from

 

the

 

material,

 

simply

 

scrape

 

it

 

off

 

with

 

your

 

fingernail.

 

This

 

can

 

be

 

eliminated

 

by

 

letting

 

it

 

cool

 

further

 

(3

5

 

minutes

 

off

 

the

 

press).

 

10)

 

After

 

the

 

transfer

 

paper

 

and

 

adhesive

 

paper

 

have

 

been

 

separated,

 

don’t

 

forget

 

to

 

trim

 

around

 

your

 

image

 

to

 

remove

 

any

 

adhesive

 

that

 

might

 

have

 

transferred

 

around

 

the

 

edges

 

of

 

the

 

paper.
