Printing on T-Shirt Transfers
Follow the steps below to load and print on T-Shirt Transfer TR-201. T-Shirt
Transfers can be used to transfer a design onto cotton or polyester-cotton
blend fabric. First you print a design on the transfer sheet then you use a
hot iron to transfer the pattern to the T-shirt.
■ For detailed instructions about ironing on the transfer after it is printed,
please refer to the instructions you received with your pack T-Shirt trans-
fers.
■ T-Shirt Transfer TR-201 is available in two sizes: A4 and A3. You can use
either size with this printer.
■ Load T-Shirt Transfer TR-201 in the sheet feeder or manually. Do not
attempt to load a T-Shirt Transfer in the paper cassette.
■ To avoid jams, smearing and other problems, never open the top cover
during printing.
■ If you are printing an image of especially high density, do not touch the
printed surface until it is thoroughly dry.
■ Always handle T-Shirt Transfers by the edges. Never touch the surface of
the Transfer, especially if your hands are wet.
1 Create the design with your software application program.
For best results, we recommend using light colours.
