Xerox 12 manual Single-Step Transfer Paper

USAGE GUIDELINES FOR XEROX COLOR COPIERS AND PRINTERS

Single-Step Transfer Paper

Contact your Xerox representative or visit the Xerox website for the current list of recommended materials for your copier/printer.

Description and expectations

Single step transfer papers enable you to transfer full color images directly from copies or prints onto almost any fabric and other types of materials. A popular application is image transfer onto T-shirts.

The recommended materials have been extensively tested and have been selected to provide optimum performance.

Hints, tips and testing results

Xerox testing has shown the following:

•When the recommended materials are run as recommended for your copier/printer, feeding performance will be good but should not be expected to equal the performance of Xerox 24 lb (90 g/m2) Color Xpressions paper.

•Refer to the Recommended Materials list for your copier/ printer for the correct mode to use when running transfer papers.

•To avoid problems (jams and poor image quality) caused by both dry and humid environments, store Xerox transfer paper in its resealable bag with desiccant pack. Other brands should also be stored in resealed packages when not in use.

•Dry ink saturation on electronic originals should be limited to a total of 280% (70% for each color). Higher dry ink saturation can result in poorly fused prints.

•T-shirts consisting of a 50/50 blend of polyester/cotton provide better image durability than shirts made of 100% cotton. Tight weave fabrics (heavy T-shirts) provide better results than loose knit fabrics (sweat shirts).

•Thorough testing has not been done on brands of single step transfer papers other than Xerox papers. High rates of multifeed jams and potentially damaging fuser jams may be encountered with brands that have not been recommended. Run only the recommended materials.
