FAQs
What kind of images can I use?
You must use laser-printed images. Inkjet prints will not work.
Can I use this on fabric?
Yes, this medium works on fabric. However, be aware that the image will not be flexible like the fabric itself.
How do I clean up the medium?
Clean up with soap and water while the medium is still wet.
Do I need to seal the image after transfer?
The medium itself provides a permanent bond. However, you can apply a sealant for extra protection.
What is the drying time?
Drying time can vary. Allow the medium to dry completely before rubbing the paper backing. This usually takes several hours or overnight.
What if my image has text?
If your image has text, you must print it as a mirror image.
Can I layer multiple images?
Yes, but ensure each layer is completely dry before applying the next.
Troubleshooting
Image is not transferring completely.
Ensure the image is a laser print. Apply the transfer medium evenly and allow sufficient drying time. Rub the paper backing gently and consistently to remove all paper fibers.
Image appears cloudy or has bubbles.
Apply a thin, even coat of the transfer medium. Avoid air bubbles when placing the image onto the surface. Use a soft cloth or squeegee to smooth out any bubbles.
The transfer medium is too thick or gloppy.
Ensure the medium is stored properly and not exposed to extreme temperatures. If the medium is too thick, try applying a thinner layer.
