Making Iron-on Transfers

The special features of the MD-Series printers enable you to create iron-on transfers, which allow you to print illustrations and photos and then transfer them to cloth using an iron. With the iron-on transfer sheets, you can create one-of-a-kind T-shirts, handker- chiefs, and other items using family pictures, names, and so forth.

Note

Printing on Iron-on Transfer Sheets is identical to normal color printing except special sheets are used. When placing the sheets in the printer, care should be taken to avoid getting fingerprints, etc., on the printing surface of the sheets. Also, when preparing images, keep in mind that since the final image will be trans- ferred to cloth, extremely fine print data or very small illustra- tions details may not show up well.
