T-shirt paper, also known as iron-on transfer paper, is another common name. It works similarly to heat transfer vinyl, but there are some exceptions.

Let's get started.

STEP 1: PREPARE THE CUT FILE

Mirror the light Iron-On paper

If you use light iron-on papers, it is a fatal error not to reverse the image. To change the image, use light transfer paper.

As your design will face down on the garment, mirroring enables it to face the right direction after the transfer process.

Do not Mirror Dark Transfer Paper.

If you use dark transfer papers, you should have your image facing up on the shirt before you do the transfer. You don't have to reverse the image.

Mirroring your design will make it look wrong. The same things you see on dark paper will appear precisely the way they do on your final product.

STEP 2: CUT DESIGN FROM THE IRON-ON PAPER

After creating the design, load the iron transfer papers to the cutter. Next, adjust the settings to your liking and cut the design.

STEP 3: WEED OUT EXCESS IRON-ON PAPER

Get rid of the spare part from your design that you don't wish to transfer to the final product.

STEP 4: IRON

Place a piece of cardboard under the shirt, where you want to iron the design. Next, place your transfer paper directly on the fabric.

Use lots of heat to iron the transfer paper. Turn your iron to high heat so enough heat can transfer to the design.

That's all.
