   PRINTING, TRANSFERRING, AND WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

IMAGE CLIP® Laser Light

IMAGE CLIP® Laser Dark

IMAGE CLIP® Koncert-Ts

PRINTING:

1. Print the image in reversed/mirrored format onto the ‘Imaging Sheet.’

2. Begin by printing on standard paper setting. If toner does not fuse, increase the ‘paper weight’ setting.
(You can check toner fusion by rubbing with a tissue and if tissue comes away clean, the toner is well fused!

Tip for Koncert-T’s: Print using a color that best matches the color of the fabric (i.e. – red toner for red fabric,
black toner for black fabric, etc.

PRE-TRANSFERRING

Prepare the garment/fabric by ensuring the surface is clean, dry, and wrinkle free using a lint brush and your heat press.

TRANSFERRING

Step 1:

1. Press the printed Image Sheet to
the ‘Transfer Sheet’ and heat press
for 20 seconds at 210°F/99°C
using light (25 psi/2 bar) pressure.

2. Separate papers while still hot
using a smooth even motion.

Step 2:

1. Press the imaging sheet facedown
onto the shirt or substrate.

2. Press 30 seconds at
375°F/190°C using heavy
(60 to 70 psi/5 bar) pressure.

3. Allow to cool to room temperature
then peel the backer paper off
using a smooth even motion.

4. For best results, “hand” stretch
the garment in all directions,
then cover with siliconized
parchment paper and repress
at the conditions listed in Step 2
for 10 seconds.

Step 1:

1. Press the printed Image Sheet to the ‘Transfer Sheet’ and heat
press for 20 seconds at 250°F/121°C using medium to heavy
(40 to 70 psi/3 to 5 bar) pressure.

2. Separate papers while still hot using a smooth even motion.

Step 2:

1. Press the imaging sheet facedown onto the shirt or substrate.

2. Press 30 seconds at 375°F/190°C using heavy (60 to 70 psi/ 5 bar) pressure.

3. Allow to cool to room temperature then peel the backer paper off
using a smooth even motion.

4. For best results, “hand” stretch the garment in all directions, then cover
with siliconized parchment paper and repress at the conditions listed in
Step 2 for 10 seconds.

WASHING

Turn garment inside out and wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach. Dry on low-heat setting.
If you intend to iron the transferred area, ensure that the image is covered with parchment paper before ironing.

IMPORTANT: Printers and heat presses vary in accuracy. We have tested our products with numerous printers and presses with excellent results.
Nonetheless, we recommend that you test the paper in your equipment to ensure the best results. Neenah’s maximum obligation shall be to
replace any paper that has proven to be defective.

IMAGE CLIP® Heat Transfer Paper TIPS

The IMAGE CLIP® product family is developed for the transfer of full color text or intricate graphics to either light
or dark substrates. These papers are not suitable for photographic images or pastel colored images.

PRINTING INFORMATION

Our products are designed to work with most color laser printers and copiers on the market. When using a laser
printer, the printer will need to be able to handle the ‘thickness’ of the paper for fusing purposes. Choose the
pre-programmed setting when using OKI printers.

How to set up printer for IMAGE CLIP® Papers:
IMAGE CLIP® Laser Dark & Koncert-T’s are considered to be ‘heavier’ papers than IMAGE CLIP® Laser Light.

1.

Run clean copier
paper through
printer prior to
printing the heat
transfer paper.

2.

Use bypass tray for
loading paper, not
the paper tray.

3.

For Koncert-T’s,
print the image in
full color, black,
blue, or match the
fabric color.

4.

Begin with a
standard paper
setting and print the
heat transfer paper.
Note: it is not
uncommon for the
papers to require a
heavy paper setting.
For some colors,
you may get better
results by matching
the image color
to the color of
the fabric.

5.

Using a tissue, lightly rub the printed area.
If color rubs off on
the tissue, it is not
fused. If not fused,
go to next higher
setting (i.e., medium paper setting),
which slows down
the printing and
increases the
heat exposure.

6.

Repeat step 3 until
tissue wipes clean.

TRANSFERRING INFORMATION

Step 1 Tips:

• If the polymer sheet (Transfer sheet) is not transferring fully to the Imaging sheet (there are areas that are left
untreated), increase the pressure and delay the peeling of the two sheets by 2 to 3 seconds.
• If an excessive amount of toner is transferring from the Imaging sheet to the Transfer sheet, the heat press
may be too hot.


Step 2 Tips:
• Allow the paper and shirt to fully cool to room temperature to allow for best color reproduction (IMAGE CLIP® Dark
& Koncert-Ts).

NOTE: IMAGE CLIP® Products are not recommended for the transferring of photos. We recommend
TECHNI-PRINT® EZP (for light substrates) and LASER ONE OPAQUE® (for dark substrates) Heat Transfer Papers
when photography is reproduced. IMAGE CLIP® Products work beautifully with the new white toner printers.
