Transfer Paper
Dark T Shirt Transfer Paper
You can use T Shirt Transfer Paper to create your own custom t shirts or other fabric articles.
Be creative and use T-shirt transfer paper to make your own custom t-shirts and other fabric articles, such as aprons, tote bags, and book covers. T-shirt transfer paper can be used to transfer a printed image onto fabric with heat from a heat press or even a household iron.
There are two different types of T shirt transfer paper. For white, gray or another light colored fabric, use standard T-shirt transfer paper. For black, navy, or other dark colored fabric, use T-shirt transfer paper designed for dark colors. Remember that black lettering and outlines will not show up, so change your design accordingly.
How to Create Your Own T-Shirt Designs
In addition to the T-shirt transfer paper, all you need is a printer and a computer with some type of imaging software. Put the T-shirt transfer paper into your printer and:
- Use single sheet feeding only.
- Print on rough side of the transfer paper and do not use transfer setting on printer
- Set Printer to high-resolution or photo-quality
- Increase color brightness and or saturation.
Create your custom design using your computer photo editing or image design software. If you are creating a design that contains lettering, be sure you remember to reverse the image in the document before printing. Print the design onto your T shirt transfer paper, and let the ink dry.
Cut around the outside edges of the final image before positioning the paper on the fabric. Carefully read the instructions for transfer, including heat settings and length of time for heat application. You can do the transfer with a house hold iron. Directions are also included for care and washing of the t shirt. In general you will:
- Put fabric on a hard smooth surface (Do not use ironing board)
- Put pillowcase underneath fabric
- Remove the backing from the transfer paper by tearing about 1/8”
- Position imaged transfer film on fabric with printed side up
- Set iron at highest temperature setting
- Cover imaged transfer paper with silicon paper to protect the image
- Press each side of the image with 45 seconds presses until all edges and corners are firmly attached. Continue to press with small 45 second presses over the entire image
- Allow silicon to cool completely and peel off
- Total ironing time should be 5 to 6 minutes for an 8 ½” X 11” image.
Sometimes irons vary, so you may have to experiment with the length of press time.
If you own a Heat Press, here are the general instructions:
- Settings for cotton/cotton blends: 25 seconds, 375 degrees
- Settings for synthetic fabrics: 10 seconds, 350 degrees
General Use
Dark T shirt transfer paper for inkjet printers can be printed with 1440 dpi which is great for high-resolution photographs. It will work on all colored fabrics made of cotton or synthetic, like polyester and nylon. The paper works well in most common ink jet printers such as Epson, Canon, HP or Lexmark
Washing Instructions
Wash all fabric (turn inside out) before wearing. Wash in warm water and hang dry. Do not use bleach.
