What you need:
Epson Iron-On Transfer Paper A4, Supported Epson ink jet printer. (Just check that your printer supports Iron-On Transfer page by visiting www.epson.com.au)

Instructions:
Make the following settings in the printer driver before you print the t-shirt transfer.

Preparation:

  1. Trim the margin around the design, leaving about 5 mm around the image. Avoid cutting the edges sharp. Try to round the edges when you cut.
  2. Place your T-shirt or other material on a smooth, hard wood or metal surface. Hint: Do not use glass or a padded ironing board
  3. Set your iron highest dry setting - no steam.
  4. Place a pillowcase on the ironing surface for padding, and iron it to remove any wrinkles. Make sure the pillowcase and ironing surface are completely smooth.
  5. Place the T-shirt, apron, or other material on top of the pillowcase. Iron the area on the item where the transfer will be applied; avoid placing the transfer on seams.
  6. Let the surface of the item cool before placing the transfer on top. Place the transfer with the image face down and the white side up.
