Alps Electric MD-1300 manual 114, ∙ Cloth to transfer the image to T-shirt, handkerchief, etc

Chapter 2 - Various Printing Operations

∙Cloth to transfer the image to (T-shirt, handkerchief, etc.)

Most cloth that is fairly smooth will work fine. The transferred image may peel off in the laundry if the cloth stretches or shrinks a lot, does not withstand heat well, or has a nap. These kinds of cloth should be avoided.

Note

Use iron-ons only on white cloth. Black or other colors will af- fect the printed color of the image.

Step 1¨ Prepare the Image to Be Printed

Use an application and create the data to be printed.

There are no special considerations for creating the data. Create the data just as you would for black or full color printing.

Note

∙Because each iron-on transfer sheet can only be printed on once, try to use as much of the sheet as possible. If a 1/2 inch gap is left between images, several images can be printed on a single sheet. (Use a single sheet to create an image for several different pieces of cloth.)

∙Large images that require more than one sheet can also be created.

Step 2¨ Install the Ink Cartridges and Load the Iron-On Trans- fer Sheet into the Printer

1.Install the ink cartridges into the ink cartridge holders.

Note

When printing on iron-on transfer sheets, use only standard color cyan, magenta, yellow, or black ink cartridges. Do not use me- tallic ink cartridges.

2.Set the paper feed switch to position "M".
