Photo-Perfect Inkjet Paper pressing and washing instructions

Pressing with a home iron:
1. After the image has dried from printing, approximately 5 minutes, cut the image, leaving a border of 1/8" around the image.
2. Set the iron to the hottest temperature and do not add water to the iron. When ironing onto a T-shirt, double fold the shirt so that the area the image will be transferred onto is facing upward. Iron the area for a few seconds without the transfer paper.
3. Place the image face down onto the fabric. Iron the back of the image for a few seconds and let cool for about 10 seconds. Re-iron the image VERY SLOWLY, using medium to high pressure, starting at one corner and moving upward along the side to the next corner. Proceed with ironing the the bottom or top center of the image slowly towards the center top or bottom and then the latter side of the image from one corner to the other. This process should take about 60-70 seconds for an 8" x 10" image surface. Follow-up by ironing the whole image quickly, heating all of the transfer paper again for approximately 10-13 seconds.
4. Quickly peel the transfer starting at the corner immediately after the ironing process. Use caution, the paper will be hot. Let cool for a few seconds.

Pressing with a heat press machine:
1. After the image has dried from printing, approximately 15 minutes, trim the transfer, leaving a border of 1/8" around the image.
2. Press the image at 350º F for 8 seconds with the heat press, using medium (40 lbs) pressure.
3. Quickly peel the transfer starting at the corner immediately. Use caution, the paper will be hot. Let cool for a few seconds.

Washing instructions:
1. Wash inside out in COLD water. DO NOT USE BLEACH.
2. Place in dryer immediately. DO NOT hang dry.
3. Do not iron the image surface again on the shirt.

Digital Transfer Paper storage instructions: Keep unused transfer paper in the sealed plastic bag until ready to use. This keeps the paper from absorbing moisture which will degrade image and transfer quality. Seal the bag after each use.
