a stiff feel to them when new. This feel can become softer with washing. Back To Questions |

| Can I press the Print 'n Press™ Transfer Paper once it has been ironed onto my project? | |||||
If your fabric requires
pressing after laundering, place a Teflon® pressing sheet on
top of the transfer area before ironing. June Tailor's Teflon Pressing
Sheet™ works well for pressing transfers. Do not iron directly
on the transfer. |
|||||
| Do I have to flip or mirror my image when using the Print 'n Press™Transfer Paper? | |||||
| If you want your photo
to appear on your fabric with the same orientation, be sure to have
the copier "flip" your images or create a mirror image of
the photo before printing onto Print'n Press™ Transfer Paper.
This assures the orientation of the photo will come out correctly
when ironed onto your fabric. This is most important when your images
contain text. Back To Questions |

areas. The unprinted areas of the Print'n Press™ Transfer Paper
will appear clear when transferred, but will be present on your project
surface if not trimmed before pressing. Back To Questions |

| Which side of the Print 'n Press™ Transfer Paper do I copy on? | |||||
| When printing onto the

of the Print'n Press™ contains a colored line or a slight tint.
You should not print onto the back of the Print'n Press™. Back To Questions |
