3G Jet Opaque Transfer Paper is used to transfer inkjet prints to dark substrates using heat. A4 thermal transfer paper with a weight of 150 g/m2 for an inkjet printer gives realistic, aesthetic prints on cotton and synthetic fabrics: black and dark
t-shirts,
sweatshirts,
bags,
caps, scarves, flags, banners.
The paper also works well on harder objects (wood, artificial leather, mouse pads) - before making the actual transfer, make tests by increasing the transfer temperature.
Hot transfer (print) paper for inkjet works well with all transfer presses, but works equally well as an iron-on transfer for self-iron. 3G Jet Opaque paper sheets are a specialized medium that, thanks to its properties, allows you to achieve a professional effect also at home - all you need is an inkjet printer, iron and dark primer, and the original iron-on transfer will be ready. With its use, you can also successfully make, for example, name tags (namesake) for a preschooler's clothes.
Printing Guide
- Insert a sheet of 3G Jet Opaque paper into the printer, print on smooth side of the page (without grid)
- Print the selected theme (photo, logo, inscription, other graphics) legibly, i.e. without the mirror image effect
- Cut off unprinted, unnecessary pieces of paper
Instructions for heating with a heattransfer press
- Place T-shirt or other dark media on the press plate; remove creases and moisture, iron the item in the press for a few seconds before starting to heat it
- Remove the lower layer of paper
- Place the printed paper face up on the T-shirt
- Place a sheet of protective silicone paper on top of the paper - e.g. support for overprints - Matt Finish backup paper Matt FinishorAntistick
- Start the transfer with the following parameters: temperature: 180oC, heat-up time: 30 seconds, pressure: medium
- After opening the press, allow the fabric to cool, then remove the transfer paper with a steady, firm motion at the smallest possible angle
TIP: We recommend don't wash a thermo-applied T-shirt for 24 hours after heating. Preferably hand wash mode, at 30oC on the left side. Do not use bleach, iron on the left side as well.
Instructions for ironing
- Preheat the iron to the highest temperature and be sure to turn off the steam function; it is not recommended to use tourist (travel) irons
- Prepare a hard, stable surface on which you will iron the decoration - give up the ironing board because it is too soft
- To remove wrinkles and moisture from the T-shirt, iron the fabric
- Remove the layer of shipping paper from underneath
- Place the thermal transfer paper face up
- Cover the paper with a sheet of protective silicone paper, e.g. Matt Finish backing paper or Antistick
- Using two hands, press the entire surface of the paper firmly, first for 90 seconds moving the iron vertically (up - down), then for 90 seconds horizontally (left - right)
- When applying an iron-on transfer, remember to heat the entire application evenly, including the corners and edges; be careful not to move or bend the t-shirt or paper
- Wait until the fabric has cooled down and, starting from the corner, pull the paper off the T-shirt in a steady, firm motion. The ironing is done - home thermal application is complete!
TIP: For smaller applications, remember to reduce the welding time to 45 seconds vertically and 45 seconds horizontally. For graphics whose area is smaller than the surface of the iron's heating plate, use a heating time of 30 seconds
