Instructions for using Lazertran Inkjet Textile Transfer paper for white cloth
This special paper allows you to transfer images using your computers inkjet printer. It must not be used with laser printers.
Printer driver settings
Transfer paper mode, if available, if not, use normal paper mode using best quality. We recommend allowing the printout to dry for about 30 minutes before continuing to apply to fabric. Do not worry that the image may appear a little pale as the colours will be restored to their original brightness after application.
Preparation and ironing
- Switch your iron on high and pre-heat. Iron any wrinkles out of the cloth. Do not use steam
- Place a smooth cloth, for example 2 or 3 kitchen towels or a folded pillow case between the fabric and a solid flat surface such as a table top
- Cut the image out. Remember any white areas will show as white after transfer
- Release the backing paper by peeling off and place the thin membrane with the image on it face up onto the cloth
- Cover the image with the parchment paper provided and iron through this parchment paper applying consistent circular pressure distributing the heat evenly. Concentrate on using the centre of the iron during transfer, paying particular attention to the edges of the image. Do not use steam. Heat for 60 - 90 seconds for small images and 90 - 120 seconds for larger images
- Let the transfer cool then peel off the parchment paper
A heat press can also be used. Set the temperature to 160 degrees C and press for approx. 40 seconds.
Wash at max 40 degrees C turning the garment inside out. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry.
Protect the image with kitchen parchment paper when ironing.
