Step 1: Setting Up Your Design:

Set up your image and be sure it is at the proper resolution, 300dpi is a good resolution for print images. For light-fabric you will need to reverse any text as it will print out backward, dark-fabric does not require this as it will print out as it appears on the screen. Step 2: Print, Dry, and Cut:

Once your art is properly set up you can proceed to print your image onto the transfer paper. After the image has printed let the ink dry for a few minutes before touching it. When the ink has dried then it is time to cut out your image. When cutting out your image, try to follow as closely as you can to the image so there is not a lot of white/black space lingering around your art. Step 3: Iron-On:

For dark-fabric transfers, you will have to peel the back of the transfer off. Pre-iron your garment/fabric and the pillow case so there are no wrinkles in the area you are applying the transfer. Place the garment on top of the pillowcase (you do not need an ironing board, and the transfer onto the shirt where you want to apply it. Iron over the transfer for 15 - 20 seconds (or as recommended by the instructions), and then let it completely cool down. Once the transfer has completely cooled then peel off the transfer paper slowly. If you see the transfer lifting at all then stop and iron again for a few more seconds.
