**New** Everlast Dark, soft and stretchy opaque! We are pleased to introduce our first ever soft and stretchy inkjet opaque paper. This Heat Transfer can be done with a hand iron, however the quality of the iron-on heat transfer may be poor. It is important to have consistent Heat, Time, and Pressure when working with this heat transfer paper and all other heat transfers. This often can NOT be achieved with a hand iron.

**Note: Some difficulties have been noted when using this Inkjet Opaque Heat transfer paper with the HP 4550 printer**



Printing & Transferring Instructions

1. Printing and Preparing Image
- The coated matte side (vs. glossy side) surface is the imaging side of the paper.
- Print design on the paper with correct orientation (not as mirror image).
- Check printer settings; single-sheet feeding is recommended.
2. Cut Out Design
- Do not leave a margin around edge of heat transfer.
- Use an image with rounded edges to avoid corner liftoff after washing.
3. Peel Off Glossy Backing Paper
- This is done by slightly tearing backing paper of the heat transfer paper on edge of paper and gently peeling it away.
4. Preparing for Transfer (Heat Press Application Recommended)
- Prepare heat press at 350 degrees F.
- Place transfer paper with design facing upwards in desired position on fabric.
- Cover image with enclosed silicon paper (which can be used a couple times).
- Using above recommended temperature, apply firm pressure for 15 seconds.
Transferring Image using Hand Iron
- Iron on a hard surface, NOT an ironing board. Place a pillowcase or t-shirt between your hard surface and your garment to allow the heat to penetrate the transfer.
- Peel image away from backing. Cover imaged transfer film with enclosed silicon paper. (This is to protect the imaged transfer film).
- Adjust iron at highest temperature setting Do not Steam.
- Step press, with firm pressure, slowly along each side of the image. Hold each press for 45 seconds, ensure all edges and corners are firmly pressed. Continue to step press over the entire image, again each step press should be held for 45 seconds until entire image has been pressed and all areas have been pressed for 45 seconds each.
Total ironing time should be 5 to 6 minutes for 8.5 x 11 size image.
5. Peel & Wear
- Allow fabric to cool completely, then smoothly and evenly peel away overlay paper.

Tips
- Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Make sure to select proper media setting (t-shirt transfer, photo quality inkjet paper, or 360dpi) from print menu; check your printer manual for additional printing instructions.
- Not recommended for HP DeskJet 1200C or 1600C models because they apply heat.
- Leave finished item for at least 24 hours before washing.
- Fabrics may then be machine washed separately (inside out, with other darks) in cold water.
- Dry at normal setting; do not dry clean.
- Keep product in closed package between uses; store in a cool, dry place.
