laser_1_opaque_transfer_paper_instructions

LASER 1 OPAQUE® Heat Transfer Papers are designed for both oil and oil-less laser
copiers and laser printers for the heat transfer of high-resolution photographs and images
to dark T-shirts, sweatshirts, mousepads, coasters, puzzles, handbags, binders, padfolios,
paper, leather, magnets, wood veneer, nylon and more. Choose garments that have a
tight weave. This is particularly important when transferring to sweatshirts.

IMPORTANT: Make one shirt and wash it by itself before producing your order. This will help you from making costly mistakes and will
allow you to take corrective action before you make a quantity of shirts. When the instructions are followed you will get excellent results!

PRINTING

IMPORTANT: For textile (shirts, mouse pads, etc) printing anything higher than 200-250 DPI is a waste of ink & time and it will not produce better results. In fact, you may create a problem if you use too much ink!

1. LASER 1 OPAQUE Paper works in most color laser printers and color laser copiers.
2. DO NOT mirror the image. Copy/print on the coated, unprinted side of the transfer.
3. LASER 1 OPAQUE® Paper should be fed into the copier or printer with the short dimension first (grain long) using the by-pass tray.
4. Trim away the unprinted areas of the transfer if desired.
5. Slowly peel the paper backing from the transfer film, starting with a small tear in the corner to make separating easier.

TRANSFERRING

Using A Commercial Heat Press

1. Place imaged transfer film face up on garment or substrate and cover it with a silicone ironing sheet (sold seperately). Place a flat single layer of fabric such as a pillow case or t-shirt over the ironing sheet. Press 2 minutes at 300F using medium pressure. Re-use of the ironing sheets is not recommended.

2. Allow to cool completely before removing the silicone ironing sheet.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

Turn garment inside out and wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach. Dry on low heat
setting. Do not iron directly on the transferred area.

STORAGE AND HANDLING OF LASER 1 OPAQUE ® HEAT TRANSFER PAPERS

Store LASER 1 OPAQUE® HEAT TRANSFER PAPERS in a cool, dry area and do not remove from carton or poly
bag until you are ready to use.

NOTE

Dark colored polyester and nylon are not recommended because the dyes may migrate through the
transfer.

IMPORTANT

We thoroughly test each of our products on various substrates using different transfer equipment. However, it is impossible for us to duplicate
all variables using all substrates and transfer equipment. Therefore , it is essential that you test the paper prior to production using your
equipment, methods, and substrate material. Heat presses vary in accuracy. Conduct tests to determine the best time and temperature to
use with your equipment. Please keep in mind that the Seller’s and Manufacturer’s maximum obligation shall be to replace any paper that
has proven to be defective. Neither the Seller nor the Manufacturer shall be liable for any injury, direct or consequential, arising out of the
use of, or inability to use this paper.
