Getting Started Ch. 2 Getting Started Attaching labels Laminated tape The backing from labels printed on laminated tapes can easily be removed if an Auto Cut setting with a half cut (1, 3, 5 or 7) was used (refer to page 68). Iron-on transfer tape Iron-on transfer tape is used to transfer your text onto garments using an iron. 1 Insert an iron-on transfer tape cassette, press p to print the text and cut off the label. 2 Iron the garment to flatten it before transferring the text. 3 Place the label on the garment at the location where you wish the text to be transferred. 4 Set the iron to cotton (302 to 356 °F (150 to 180 °C)), and then press down on the label with the iron for about 15 seconds. 5 Allow the iron-on transfer to cool (for about 60 seconds), and then carefully remove the backing paper. NOTE ☞ White garments made from 100% cotton with a plain (smooth) surface are best for iron-on transfers. You can also make transfers to garments made from 100% linen or cotton/polyester blends as long as they have a plain (smooth) surface. ☞ The label will not adhere properly to any cloth with a rough surface, such as pile or denim, or with a waterproof surface. Heat-sensitive materials, such as nylon, acetate or other similar fibers, are also unsuitable as they may be damaged when pressing with an iron at a high temperature. ☞ Do not move the iron while pressing, otherwise the label may move out of the desired position. Press the iron straight down onto the cloth. ☞ After the backing tape has been removed, the transferred label may appear glossy. In addition, some white spots may have appeared on the label if it was touched while the backing tape was peeled off. These can be removed by ironing over the label with a piece of cloth placed between the label and the iron. ☞ Since the transferred label cannot be removed once it is applied, make all transfers with care. Washing Garments with transfer labels can be washed over 20 times if the label has been transferred correctly. Normal biological and non-biological household detergents may be used. The label may become discolor if the garment is placed in bleach for an extended length of time. Be careful that hard objects such as buckles or buttons do not come into contact with the label during the wash. Do not dry clean garments that have had transfer labels applied. Drying Garments with transfer labels may be dried either inside or outside out. Do not tumble dry. The transfers will come off and may stick to other items of clothing. 38
