TIPS

1. for 'darker-light' fabric colors, you may wish to increase toner saturation (and likely reduce toner brightness / lightness) to strengthen color density. A good example is the orange shirt above, the image could use more toner to define the colors on the orange.
As you increase the toner density, color washout will also increase. There is a fine line between toner deposit and toner color washout. You will need to test and adjust to your satisfaction.

2. for best wash durability, heat press for an additional 4 seconds using a Teflon (c) overlay. Heat press as above - peel, then position the Teflon on top of image (on shirt) and press for 4 to 6 seconds. VERY quickly peel away the Teflon sheet - if you peel the Teflon too slowly the polymer will shine.

3. WHEN PEELING:
a) you do NOT need to be super fast to peel, though you still need to peel warm
b) folding the shirt a wee bit where the transfer paper sits makes it happen easily. With a slight fold, the paper will begin to release from the shirt. That is WHEN to peel. Thereafter, peel easily - there should be no resistance (if so, you need to peel quicker). If resistance increase during peeling, you are peeling too slow. Re-heating the transfer and shirt in the press does NOT work.

4. pre-heating of shirt not required.

5. Use RGB Colors (image creation software) for best pressed color vibrancy
