Can I press the Print 'n Press™ Transfer Paper once it has been ironed onto my project?
   

If your fabric requires pressing after laundering, place a pressing sheet on top of the transfer area before ironing. June Tailor's Non-Stick Pressing Sheet works well for pressing transfers. Do not iron directly on the transfer.

Do I have to flip or mirror my image when using the Print 'n Press™Transfer Paper?
   
If you want your photo to appear on your fabric with the same orientation, be sure to have the copier "flip" your images or create a mirror image of the photo before printing onto Print'n Press™ Transfer Paper. This assures the orientation of the photo will come out correctly when ironed onto your fabric. This is most important when your images contain text.
