|
| How can I avoid
paper jams when using Quick Fuse™ Inkjet Fabric Sheets? |
| |
|
|
| It is best to load
one sheet of Quick Fuse™ Inkjet Fabric Sheets into your
printer at a time. Once one sheet has passed through your printer,
you may load the next sheet to be printed on.
If your printer is having trouble gripping the edge of the
fabric we recommend that you line the leading edge of the
fabric with masking tape to help the printer grip the fabric
and pull it through its printing process. It is also important
that you watch the fabric as it comes out of your printer
so it does not catch on any of the component parts of the
printer and begin to jam. It may be helpful to watch the
fabric as it exits the printer and help guide it out.
Humidity will have an effect on the fabric, as well as on
your printer. If your environment is too humid, the fabric
can curl and will not run through the printer smoothly. Printers
are also more likely to jam in humidity. It is best to reduce
the amount of humidity around both.

| Is it necessary
to flip or mirror images when using Quick Fuse™ Inkjet
Fabric Sheets? |
| |
|
|
It is important
to note that Quick Fuse™ is not an iron-on transfer.
Quick Fuse™
Inkjet Fabric Sheets enable you to print or copy photos, graphics,
or text directly onto fabric, instantly. Therefore, there is
no need to mirror image photos before printing them out. The
image you see on your computer screen is the image that will
print on your Quick Fuse™ Inkjet Fabric Sheet.

|
| Which side
do I print on when using Quick Fuse™ Inkjet Fabric Sheets? |
| |
|
|
Print on the fabric
side of the Quick Fuse™ Inkjet Fabric sheets. The fabric
side appears rough and textured. The backing, which is the
adhesive, has a glossy or shiny appearance and a smooth texture.
This backing is activated by the heat of your iron when pressing
your Quick Fuse™ image onto your project surface. When
pressing your Quick Fuse™ Inkjet Fabric Sheet, your
image will be facing you, glossy backing down. You will press
directly on top of your image and the heat from your iron will
pass through the fabric and activate the adhesive backing,
adhering your image to your project surface.

| How do I care
for my Quick Fuse™ Inkjet Fabric Sheets after my images
are printed? |
| |
|
|
Quick Fuse™ Ink
Jet Fabric Sheets must be fused to project surface first,
before laundering. Quick Fuse™ Inkjet Fabric Sheets
may be laundered by hand in cold water with a small amount
of liquid fabric softener. If machine washing, use cold water,
gentle cycle and liquid fabric softener, no detergent. Regular
detergents are too harsh and will fade the images. It is
important to remember the ink that you are printing onto
the fabric is water-soluble and is therefore not permanent.
The coating in the Quick Fuse™ Inkjet Fabric is the
only way to set that ink into the fabric. Keep in mind that
what you are putting into the fabric is only ink; it is not
a dye. You can dry your images with a hair dryer or lay flat
to dry.

| What do I do
if the corners of my Quick Fuse™ Inkjet Fabric Sheets
are lifting after it has been fused onto my project? |
| |
|
|
Quick Fuse™ Ink
Jet Fabric sheets can be fused directly to your project surface.
We recommend pressing the product with a high heat to ensure
the fabric is completely fused. You may even want to finish
the comers of the fabric with decorative buttons, stitches
or ties. This will help keep the comers from lifting when the
project is laundered. The Quick Fuse™
fabric should not lift, however, if the fabric appears to do
so, you can simply re-press the image. This means that the
image did not have enough heat to thoroughly fuse the photo
the first time it was pressed. The center is the hottest area
on the surface of an iron. It is important that the center
of the iron pass over the comers and edges of the Quick Fuse™ Ink
Jet Fabric Sheets to help ensure the image is fully fused.

Can Quick
Fuse™
Inkjet Fabric Sheets be used in a laser printer? |
| |
|
|
No, the Quick Fuse™
Inkjet Fabric sheets must be used with an inkjet printer
or an inkjet copier. The shiny side of the Quick Fuse™ sheet
is the fusible. This fusible is activated by heat. Printing
the Quick Fuse™
sheet in a laser printer could result in activating the backing,
which can start to melt and jam in the machine. This is possible
because laser printers heat up too much for the fusible to
withstand. In addition, the Quick Fuse™ has a special
coating on it that makes it colorfast, but it must be used
with an inkjet printer or an inkjet copier.
