∙ If insufficient pressure is applied to the image, bubbles can form when the film is lifted off. Make sure to apply enough pressure, particularly around the edges and corners.

∙ Set the iron for 160°C/320°F (cotton). If the iron has outlet holes for steam, set the iron to Dry and avoid the holes, using a flat part of the iron.

3. Lift off the finishing sheet after the paper and the film have cooled completely.

Note

If the paper and film have not cooled completely, the film will not come off smoothly.

4.Starting with the corners, peel off the film, making sure that the film comes off smoothly.
