Let’s get creative. Now that you have used heat transfer paper to create fun and unique t-shirt designs, let’s think outside the box.

You can create one of a kind items that make great gifts for student groups, teachers, customers, volunteer groups, birthday attendees, employees, volunteer staffs, family and friends. Turn your ideas into exciting projects and fundraisers for Brownie and Cub pack groups, preschools, school, church and youth groups. Plan for birthday party activities.

Remember that everything will be reversed when you apply the heat transfer to the cloth. For that reason, especially if you are working with text, select 'Mirror', 'Flip', or 'Reverse' in your graphics application, so that the image will be printed backwards. If there is no text in your image, you may not have to reverse your image.

IMAGE CLIP® Koncert T’s paper will work with all laser printers, since the transfer is white. It also works with black and white printers which provides a lower cost per image process. The image should be made very dark so there is sufficient toner to capture the transfer in the first step. For colored shirts or other items which are not black, it is best to print a dark color similar to the color of the garment. For example, for a bright red shirt, use a dark red print. This is done because there is some “show through” of the printed color.

Laser printing processes make it possible to create and sell personalized products including T-shirts, sweatshirts, caps, mugs, mouse pads, denim, canvas and leather. Producing and selling decorated promotional items for schools, team wear, small businesses, churches, products and events is a profitable business with a low cost of entry, easy production, many customers and almost unlimited end users. T-shirts, sweatshirts, canvas bags and hats are collected and worn or used again and again, with many owners reluctant to part with a favorite.

Don't use iron-on transfer paper for inkjet printers in your laser printer. The heat can cause the paper to melt all over the inside of your printer, possibly resulting in hefty repair bills.

Check the box or label carefully to be sure you are getting inkjet transfer paper for your inkjet printer or laser transfer paper for your laser printer.
Special Purpose Transfer Paper

Iron on heat transfer paper can be used for applying custom graphics and text to t-shirts, sweatshirts and other fabric items. You can be as creative as you want by using a scanner
or digital camera to capture and manipulate images, graphics, or logos, and transfer them to fabric using iron on heat transfer paper. It is simple to print multiple colors and intricate designs, and you can easily customize the output. Iron on heat transfer paper is great for small or large jobs.

For those of us concerned about the planet and being as "green" as we possibly can, I want to take this time to explain our largest mill's use of recycled papers.

A common problem we see with customers attempting to use a laser heat transfer paper with their CLP/CLC for the first time is the inability to get the toner to adhere to the paper. One thing to keep in mind when first using a paper with your machine is that there are literally hundreds perhaps thousands of different machines with different temperatures and dwell times. Therefore, if you follow the instructions to the tee with a paper it may not work; that doesn’t necessarily mean the paper is defective.

Of all the support emails and calls we receive, I think one of the most frequent has to deal with the variety of backprinting on the heat transfer papers and why? Luckily, it is one of the easiest questions to answer, but we realize it does take time to draft an email or dial the phone, which of course would be unnecessary if we provide a quick backprint guide for your review.
