Is it ok to print out the transfers a day or so ahead of time or will it ruin them? I thought of printing out the designs I have decided on this far today, and we are planning on working on the shirts tuesday. Didn't know if it would ruin them or not.
Also I've noticed that when I print out anything on my printer, anything that is black seems to have fine lines through it. I have done a "Clean printhead" command and a "nozzle check" and also realigned . I bought a new black ink cartridge thinking possibly I had gotten some bad ink. NOt extremely visible, but yet I can see it. If it makes a difference I have a Kodak esp printer.

Thanks!!:thumbsup2

Lisa,

There is nothing wrong with printing them up before hand. Once when I was doing 50 shirts, I did the process in steps. I printed them all over a few days and then a week or so later trimmed them all over a few days and then a week later, ironed them all.

About the fine lines, have you tried printing in "best" quality. That will probably fix your problem - at least it has for me in the past.

I hope this helps!
