
1.PlacetransfersheetintothemanualsheetfeedoftheiColor500printer,smoothestsideup
(pleasenotethisisthecoatedsideofthesheet).

3.Printtheimage.
4.Onceimageisprinted,placetheadhesivesheetontopoftheprint,white(adhesivecoated)
sidedown–theimageandtheadhesiveshouldbeface‐to‐face.
5.Foldasmallcorneroftheadhesivesheetover,priortopressing–thiswillmakeiteasierto
peelapartafterpressing.
•Youshouldrunthetwosheetstogetherthroughalaminatoronamediumheatsettingpriorto
pressing‐thiswillensureallairbubblesareremovedandalladhesiveistransferred
6.Pressthetwosheetstogetherusingaheatpressat248‐260°Ffor30‐40seconds*witha
medium‐highpressure.
7.Uponopeningthepress&whilehot‐immediatelypeeltheadhesivesheetawayfromthe
transfersheetquicklyandevenly,peelinginasmooth,continuousmotion.Leavethesheetson
thepresstominimizeheatloss.
8.Discardtheusedadhesivesheet.

theimagewillremainonthegarment.Donotwaittoolongforthisstep.
13.Re‐Pressingtheimageintotheshirtisimportantforwashdurability.Wehavefounditbest
tore‐presstheimageontheshirtforroughly15‐30seconds.UsetheKraftpaperontopofthe
imageforaMattefinishandtheTeflonpaperontopoftheimageforaglossfinish.Atthat
pointwhiletheshirtisstillonthepressandstillhot;lightlystretchthematerialtoallowthe

iColor300/500FAQ

1) Whentransferringimageswithhalftones,it’spossiblethatsomeoftheadhesivewillnot
transferovertothetonerduringthefirststep.Ifyouseethishappenwithyourimage,just
reprinttheimageandthenprintalayerofwhitebehind(Ontop)oftheimagetothickenup
thedensityandgivetheadhesivesomethingtostickto.Halftonecolorsusemuchlesstoner.
Printingthewhiteovertheimagewillfillinthegaps,will;notchangethecolor,butgivesthe
adhesivesomethingtostickto..Todothis,printyourimageincolorasnormal,Thenusinga
graphicsprogram,createanoutlineoftheimageslightlysmallerthantheactualsize,andfill
thatoutlineinwithRed204foruseintheiColor300series(Red204=brightwhite)ormake
yourimage100%Black(K)foruseintheiColor500series.

2) TheiColor500bydefaultwillprintallblackgraphicsandimagesusingcompositeblackand
textusingtrueblack.Thiscouldcauseyoursolidblackgraphicstoprintgrey/pinkinsteadof
solidwhite(whenusingthewhitekit).Inordertoaddressthis,pleasegointotheprinter
driverandadjustasfollows.Yourspecificdrivermightlooklikeeitherofthesetwochoices
below.Thischangewillforceallblackimagestoprintusingonlythewhitekitandtherefore
givingyousolidwhiteimagesasdesired.

 


3) Layyourshirtoutonatableandcarefullypositionthetransfersheetintheproperplace.
Takeyourtimeinthisstepbecauseonceit’spressedyoucannotmakechanges.Useapiece
ofscotchtapefoldedoverononesidetoholdyourtransferpaperinplaceonyourshirt
whenmovingyourgarmentovertothepresssoitstaysinplace.Thetapewillnotmeltand
canberemovedafterthepressiscompletewithoutdamagetothegarment.

4) TheuseofaHOTlaminatorishighlysuggestedbeforepressingthetransfersheetand
adhesivesheetstogetherinordertoavoidareaswheretheadhesivedoesnottransferto
thetonerinthefirststepwhenusing2steppaper.Thisstepisnecessarytopre‐activethe
adhesive.Ifyoudonothavealaminatoravailable,youcanalternativelychoosefromthese
twooptions:
1. Settheheatto275degreesfor45seconds
2. Settheheatto250degreesfor30seconds,press,thenrepeatthe
processagainwithasecondpressat250degreesfor30seconds

5) Foldacorneroftheadhesiveoveroroffsetthepaperssoyoucanpeeltheadhesiveoff
easily
6) Whenpressingtheadhesivetotheimage,placethesheetsonthepresswiththeadhesive
ontop.
7) Whenpeelingtheadhesiveofftheimage,holdtheimagepaperonthebottomandpullthe
adhesivepaperoffat180degrees.(Straightback)thesteepanglegivesacleanerpull.
8) Beforepressingtheimagetothematerial,prestretchtheclothwheretheimageistobe
applied
9) AfterRE‐pressingyourfinishedshirt,stretchthefabricoutabitwhileonthepress.
10) Intheeventthatsomeresidueisleftsurroundingtheimageafterpullingthetransfersheet
awayfromthematerial,simplyscrapeitoffwithyourfingernail.Thiscanbeeliminatedby
lettingitcoolfurther(3‐5minutesoffthepress).
11) Afterthetransferpaperandadhesivepaperhavebeenseparated,don’tforgettotrim
aroundyourimagetoremoveanyadhesivethatmighthavetransferredaroundtheedgesof
thepaper.
