How do I wash my Light T-Shirt Transfer Sheets after my images are printed?
 
Transfers have a stiff feel to them when new. This feel will become softer as you wash the garment. Turn garment inside out. Machine wash cold or warm water with mild detergent. No bleach. No softener. Remove promptly from washer as bleeding may occur if left wet. If bleeding occurs, rewash. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. If air drying, blot excess water from the image with a clean towel. Do not stretch as cracking may occur. Do not iron directly on transfer. If necessary, cover with a piece of baking parchment (available at your grocery store) and allow to cool before removing.
