Laminated tape

The backing from labels printed on laminated tapes can easily be removed if an Auto Cut set- ting with a half cut (1, 3, 5 or 7) was used (refer to page 68).

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

to print the text and cut off the label.

2Iron the garment to flatten it before transfer- ring the text.

3Place the label on the garment at the loca- tion where you wish the text to be trans- ferred.

4Set the iron to cotton (302 to 356 °F (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.

NOTE

☞White garments made from 100% cotton with a plain (smooth) surface are best for iron-on trans- fers.

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 mate- rials, such as nylon, acetate or other similar fibers, are also unsuitable as they may be dam- aged when pressing with an iron at a high tem- perature.

☞Do not move the iron while pressing, otherwise the label may move out of the desired position. Press the iron straight down onto the cloth.

☞After the backing tape has been removed, the transferred label may appear glossy. In addition, some white spots may have appeared on the label if it was touched while the backing tape was peeled off. These can be removed by iron- ing over the label with a piece of cloth placed between the label and the iron.

☞Since the transferred label cannot be removed once it is applied, make all transfers with care.

Washing

Garments with transfer labels can be washed over 20 times if the label has been transferred correctly. Normal biological and non-biological household detergents may be used.

The label may become discolor if the garment is placed in bleach for an extended length of time. Be careful that hard objects such as buckles or buttons do not come into contact with the label during the wash.

Do not dry clean garments that have had trans- fer labels applied.

Drying

Garments with transfer labels may be dried either inside or outside out.

Do not tumble dry. The transfers will come off and may stick to other items of clothing.
