How do I print on Glow-In-The-Dark Transfers?
 
Design your image on the computer using your own photos, graphics and / or text.
NOTE: The white or light color parts of the design you create are the parts that will glow. The more unprinted area, the more glowing you will have. “Mirror image” before you print. This may also be referred to as “flip / horizontal” in your computer program’s tools. Many printers offer “mirror image”, “t-shirt mode” or “reverse mode” in the printer settings options. If so desired, test print your image on a plain piece of paper. Insert a single sheet of Glow-In-The-Dark transfer paper into your printer so that printing occurs on the plain, unmarked side of the transfer sheet. Printer should be set at best quality, plain paper. Print image. Allow image to dry 30 minutes before transferring. Using scissors or craft knife, trim 1/4” from edges of image.

How do I iron on the Glow-In-The-Dark Transfer Sheets?

 

Preheat iron to highest (cotton) setting. DO NOT USE STEAM. (Empty any water that may be in iron. Allow iron to preheat for five minutes.) Place pillowcase on smooth, hard, heat resistant ironing surface such as a wood cutting board. Do not use ironing board. Iron pillowcase, if necessary, to remove wrinkles. Pre-iron t-shirt or garment to remove any moisture and wrinkles. Position transfer image side DOWN on project surface. Using firm pressure, slowly iron over the entire transfer in a circular motion making sure that each spot of the transfer, especially edges, receives 15 to 20 seconds of heat. Peel cold only; wait for the transfer to cool for at least two minutes and then remove the backing paper using a smooth even motion. If you would like to transfer several images on one project, it is recommended that you wait until all images are ironed before peeling away any of the paper so that the heat of the iron does not affect previously transferred images.

How do I wash my Glow-In-The-Dark Transfer Sheets after my images are printed?
 

Turn garment inside out. Machine wash in COLD water with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or bleach alternative detergents. No softener. Remove garment promptly from washer as bleeding may occur if left wet. If bleeding occurs, rewash. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. Do not stretch as cracking may occur. Do not iron directly on transfer. If necessary, cover with a sheet of baking parchment (available at your grocery store) and allow to cool before removing.
