1.Print your design from an inkjet printer. Put the inkjet iron on transfer paper into the inkjet printer to print. After drying, you can use a cutting tool to cut off the excess part of the printed image. Keep a white edge of 0.5cm in the image part to prevent the ink from seeping out and soiling the clothes.Cover the image surface with the silicone paper. Peel the image off the backing paper gently.Place the image face up on the fabric to be transferred. Iron the irea back and forth across the silicone paper.
2. Please use a flat surface for ironing.And it is required that the carrier can withstand greater pressure. It is recommended not to use a household ironing board, because the household ironing board has elasticity and weak supporting strength, which is not conducive to the bonding of images.
3.Please set the iron temperature to cotton and linen setting. After reaching the highest temperature, start ironing. If the temperature of the electric iron is low, the image transfer will not be sufficient and it will fall off easily. Be careful not to use the steam gear, the water vapor will affect the transfer effect.

Tips:
When you do iron-on transfers on dark fabrics, you may have some problems. One of the most common problems is that iron-on transfers can turn yellow instead of maintaining their original color. You need to reduce the heat of the iron.

Precautions for washing:
