T-shirt help from the experts!

Hi all,

I am trying to make t-shirts for our upcoming trip. I have the designs, shirts and transfer paper for my printer. The instructions on the transfer paper say to "make sure to mirror image the design" . Can anyone tell me how to do this? Also, I printed out one of the designs on the paper and it seems very light in color. Is this right also?

Thanks so much

Usually, the "mirror" is found in your print menu. When you go and print the image, in the screen that pops up that lets you choose how many copies, etc., there should be an area or check box that says "mirror" or flip image. This may be under "Properties" or another sub menu. All printers are different, so you may want to google your printer's instructions. As for the color, make sure you are printing "photo" or "best photo" instead of economy or fast. This will put more ink on the paper. Good Luck!!
