I am trying to print it out on an iron on transfer but can not figure out how to make a mirror image of it so when it is ironed on it reads right. Can anyone help me :confused3
 

Thank you soooo much!!!! :thumbsup2 This was driving me crazy, I wasted 3 iron on transfers tring to get it right.:)
 
Ok now I’m just being greedy, but those turned out so well I’d like to make the rest of them if someone is willing to help :)

what software program are you using?
does your printer have the ability to create a mirror image?
And, I'll state the obvious... hopefully you're putting these flipped images on LIGHT TRANSFERS! as you don't flip for DARK transfers.......
 
:) ommmm....I think I am using light transfers, office max had two kinds ones for dark shirts and then another one. I am using white shirts so I got the one not for dark shirts.

My printer is the son of the devil. It is one of those 3 in one things, that promises to do everything but make your coffee for ya. It is by far smarter then I and I consider it a good day when I can get it to print the right document.:)

ok light transfers need to be flipped. (However, you can use either light or dark transfers on a white shirt - it's a matter of preference.)

what about the software program you're using? how are you copying the designs in this thread onto your computer and where are you storing them? (i.e., I copy mine into a folder then open the designs up using my digital photo software program called camedia then I print from there). (I also have a 3 in 1 printer - mine's an HP office jet.) Which program are you using for printing your images? (And you shouldn't be using a laser printer ever for transfers.)

In keeping with that old adage "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime"... I'm trying to help you so you don't have to be dependent on someone else every time you want a design flipped. :surfweb:
 
I've been working on the same thing this week and finally figured it out. I have a 3 in 1 printer also and it took me a while to figure out how to flip the pics. Here's what worked for me- I copy and pasted the design into a word document. Then I clicked "print" and from the print page, click "Properties". Click the "Advanced" tab and the drop down the "Layout" arrow to click on "Mirror". Hope this helps!
 
With my printer, it asks what kind of paper i am printing on and there is the choice for Tshirt transfers, if i choose that... it automatically does the mirror image for me. So for the dark transfers, i had to choose high resolution paper... then it printed out normal.
