INSTANT-LETTERING TAPE (RUB-ON TRANSFERS)
Instant-lettering tape is used to transfer your text onto paper. After printing the text onto instant-lettering tape and cutting off the label, position the label with its non-printed side facing up on a sheet of paper. By simply rubbing the instant lettering tape’s non-printed side with the enclosed stick, you can transfer the text directly onto the paper.
☞Hold the tape very firmly and do not move it while rubbing the tape.
A
IRON-ON TRANSFER TAPE
Iron-on transfer tape is used to transfer your text onto garments using an iron.
1Insert an iron-on transfer tape cassette, press p to print the text, then hold down c and press _ to cut off the label.
2Iron the garment to flatten it before transferring the text.
3Place the label on the garment at the location where you wish the text to be transferred.
4Set the iron to cotton (150 to 180 ˚C), and then press down on the label with the iron for about 15 seconds.
5Allow the iron-on transfer to cool (for about 60 seconds), and then carefully remove the backing paper.
☞White garments made from 100% cotton with a plain (smooth) surface are best for iron-on transfers. You can also make transfers to garments made from 100% linen or cotton/polyester blends as long as they have a plain (smooth) surface.
The label will not adhere properly to any cloth with a rough surface, such as pile or denim, or with a waterproof surface. Heat-sensitive materials, such as nylon, acetate or other similar fibres, are also unsuitable as they may be damaged when pressing with an
iron at a high temperature.
