I've finally started to print out some of the designs for our shirts. I'm just curious..... for those of you who have already printed your designs - approximately how many color cartridges did it take you to print out all of your designs? I started with the cartridge that was already in my computer. I just printed out about 14 designs and my printer is telling me my color cartridge is low. I have a ton of designs left to print and I'm just wondering if I'll be able to pull it off with just one brand new cartridge. Long story short: How many designs did you print and how many cartridges did it take you to print them?
Thanks a bunch

Kate, bless you. I hope things turn out OK.

I do mirror for the light ebay paper, YES????

Light paper:
Step 1:
Insert a single sheet of transfer paper into the printer with the printable surface loaded corrrectly for your printer. REVERSE YOUR IMAGE BEFORE PRINTING. When printing multiple transfers, use plain paper setting, 360 dpi, Photo Glossy setting will give a BRIGHTER image, but requires a longer dry time. Transfers printed using the Photo Glossy Setting should be fed one sheet at a time to avoid smearing the image. After printing, trim away unprinted area around your image.
Step 2: Preparing to Hand Iron
Preheat iron on highest cotton setting for 5 min. or until very hot. DO NOT USE STEAM. For proper pressure, use an ironing surface that is waist level or below. DO NOT USE AN IRONING BOARD. Fold a pillowcase in half and place it on the ironing surface with the open end hanging over the edge. Iron the pillocase to remove wrinkles. Place the garment over the center of the pillowcase. Iron the garment to remove wrinkles. Center transfer, image side DOWN onto garment
Step 3: Time Required for Hand Iron
Full page iron for 3 minutes
If 1/2 page or smaller, move iron continuously in circles with firm pressure
1/2 page iron for 90 seconds
1/4 page iron for 45 seconds
Smaller than 1/4 page, iron for 30 seconds
Step 4: Ironing with Hand Iron:
Hold the iron with both hands and keep your arms as straight as possible (use your bodyweight to help apply firm pressure). Firmly slide the iron from right to left making 4 passes across the page, each pass lasting 20 seconds. Holding the iron the same way, firmly slide it from bottom to top making 5 passes across the page, each lasting 20 seconds. Make sure to pass over all edges
Step 5: Bakc Paper Removal With Iron:
Peel the transfer starting from on corner using firm steady pressure. If paper tears or is difficult to peel, warm the backing paper and proceed to peel.

Hope this helps. Sorry for the typo's. I can't post a picture, so I just typed it up quickly.

No problem. I'm just glad I could help. Good luck with you transfers. I'm in the process of printing all of mine out too!

Good morning all -

for reason I can't go into right now - I have made the decision that I am not longer going to continue designing - I will finish the requests that I currently have - but I can not accept anymore.

Kate -- I hope everything turns out OK. If there is anything we can do her ... please let us know. I know I'm going to miss your posts if you have to go away ....

 

[itslisa]

Denise - here are the dark instructions

Should we post this on the Design Tips thread to make it easier to find in the future??????

I have a big craft show coming up on the 3rd so I must get something made. I started my hooded towel sets.

Where's the show? Do you make the towel sets only for little ones ... or big kids too? I would LOVE to see pics!!!


I went to a show this weekend ... someone made adult size hooded towels ... but they left MUCH to be desired!
