INSTANT-LETTERING TAPE (RUB-ON TRANSFERS)
Instant-lettering tape is used to transfer your text onto paper. After printing the text onto
instant-lettering tape and cutting off the label, position the label with its non-printed side fac-
ing up on a sheet of paper. By simply rubbing the instant lettering tape’s non-printed side with
the enclosed stick, you can transfer the text directly onto the paper.
☞ Hold the tape very firmly and do not move it while rubbing the tape.
IRON-ON TRANSFER TAPE
Iron-on transfer tape is used to transfer your text onto garments using an iron.
1 Insert an iron-on transfer tape cassette, press p to print the text, and then hold down
c and press _ to feed out more tape. Next, push down on the tape cutter lever
to cut off the label.
2 Iron the garment to flatten it before transferring the text.
3 Place the label on the garment at the location where you wish the text to be transferred.
4 Set the iron to cotton (150 to 180 ˚C), and then press down on the label with the iron for
about 15 seconds.
5 Allow the iron-on transfer to cool (for about 60 seconds), and then carefully remove the
backing paper.
☞ White garments made from 100% cotton with a plain (smooth) surface are best for iron-
on transfers.
You can also make transfers to garments made from 100% linen or cotton/polyester
blends as long as they have a plain (smooth) surface.
The label will not adhere properly to any cloth with a rough surface, such as pile or
denim, or with a waterproof surface. Heat-sensitive materials, such as nylon, acetate or
other similar fibres, are also unsuitable as they may be damaged when pressed with an
iron at a high temperature.
