INSTRUCTION SHEET
This paper can be used on most color laser copiers or color laser
printers (both the older low-temperate cooler lasercopiers/printers
that use fuser oil and the newer high-temperature color laser copiers/printers
that do not use fuser oil) Printing Laser One-Step
Weedless
We recommend that you feed one sheet at a time through your color
laser copier or printer. Check your equipment default settings to
Note: This paper will not work on ink jet printers!determine which
settings work best for you. Look up your media setting on our suggested
list of printers and copiers. The back side oreach sheet is printed
with a logo, so be sure you print your image on the other (front)
side. Then print your image on each sheet, usingthe mirror image setting
on your printer. We have tested our paper in the most popular copiers
and printers on the market, and our paperworks well in most.
Transferring Laser One-Step Weedless
Transfers printed on Laser One-Step Weedless may be transferred to
cotton, cotton/polyester blend, and polyester T-shirts or fabrics.Use
a conventional heat press (do not use a home iron). After printing
your design on the Laser One-Step Weedless paper, use thefollowing
settings on your heat press:
Temperature: 330 degrees F
Platen Closure Time: 25 seconds
Pressure: Approximately 60-70 psi (heavy)
Peel: 5 seconds
Upon removing the T-shirt from the heat press, wait about 5 seconds
and then peel the paper from the T-shirt. For increased washabilityand
durability, we recommend that you place the T-shirt back into the
heat press, cover the transfer with a sheet of siliconized craft coverpaper,
and repress the T-shirt for another 25 seconds (same temperature,
platen closure time, a and pressure settings) Using
a Textile Foil to Highlight the Transfer
Most commercially available textile transfer metallic foils can be
used to highlight or "jazz up" your transfer. Place the T-shirt with
thetransferred image back into the press (image side up), cover just
the part of the image that you want to highlight with metallic foil
(metallic side up), and cover the entire image (including foil) with
a sheet of siliconized craft cover paper. Close the press (sametemperature,
platen closure time, and pressure settings). Upon removing the T-shirt
from the press, wait until the image is completely cool, then "cold
peel" the foil. That's it…you're done! Using a Textile
Metallic Foil for Dark Fabrics
For black or dark T-shirts, print your image with black toner (grey
scale, not in color). Transfer the black image to the T-shirt(follow
the instructions above for "Transferring Laser One-Step Weedless").
Of course, the transferred image will appear dark on the T-shirt.Now
apply any commercially available textile transfer metallic foil over
the top of the entire dark transferred image on the T-shirt(following
the instructions above for "Using a Textile Metallic Foil to Highlight
the Transfer"). Washing Instructions
To wash a T-shirt decorated with Laser One-Step Weedless transfers,
we recommend that you turn the T-shirt inside-out anduse a cold water
cycle. To dry the T-shirt, leave it turned inside-out and tumble dry
on a low to moderate heat temperature setting. |
