3.Leave them rolled up for five minutes.

Approximate diameter of 1 in / 25 mm

4.Unroll them, and the curl should be corrected.

Note

Do not leave the back print film attached to the transfer sheet too long after the transfer. Doing so will make the sheet get curled up more tightly.

Now you have an image with glossy finish.

Step 7¨ Obtain a Matte Finish

If you want to create a matte finish, perform the following steps after completing the steps for making a glossy finish.

1.Place the matte finishing sheet on the image side of the paper with the silicon coated side face down (so that the cut corner is in the lower left corner).

2.Apply the iron.

Carefully use the iron to apply heat and pressure evenly.

3.After the paper has cooled completely, lift off the matte finishing sheet.

Note

What to do when the image does not print well

When printing on back print film in one or more colors, the print results may appear rough if printed in high resolution mode (600 dpi). In such cases, click on Quality tab and select, Standard Dither or Coarse Dither under Halftone before printing. This will make the image appear rougher on the screen but should pro- duce better print results.
