Transfer paper works best on white fabric, if you use an alternative fabric your colors will be impacted. The print will still transfer, however you will find that the colors are not a perfect reproduction. The white area on the transfer paper is plain, there is no ink or dye to transfer onto the material. This means that any area which you leave white on your design will appear the color of the material that you are using.
Disclaimer
Use transfer paper between 355 - 400°F. Time may vary between 50-110 secs. Always experiment on a small piece to ensure the fabric or paper does not melt or scorch. Our transfer paper is designed for use in a heat press only, so if you choose to use it at home with an iron or an alternative press, we advise you to do so at your own risk. The conditions for perfect image transfer are delicate, and many factors need to be considered, such as fabric, temperature, pressure, and positioning etc. This means if you're using the papers at home, you are accepting the risks that accompany it.
Paper is 1.2 or 1.75 yards wide (A4 or A3 sheets will be roughly cut out. Most textiles are 1.6 yards wide.) No emailed files or instructions. All instructions to be in order please.
