• Easily cut with scissors
• Easy to use: print, cut, and iron

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• Not suitable for cutting with a plotter, the material may tear
• Cut around the design before ironing. During transfer, the entire paper adheres, including non-inked parts, which may leave a visible edge or background if not cut
• The paper should be placed in the printer with the printable side facing up

TIPS AND ADVICE

• Opt for designs with simple shapes like squares, rectangles... These facilitate cutting excess paper and improve the integration of the design on the garment
• Use the silicone sheet for a more durable and wash-resistant print. Available in Related Products

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
