STORAGE & HANDLING OF PHOTO-TRANS® PLUS HEAT TRANSFER PAPERS Store PHOTO-TRANS PLUS Heat Transfer Papers in a cool, dry area and do not remove from carton until you are ready to use. After opening the package, store the paper in the poly bag. WASHING INSTRUCTIONS Turn garment inside out. This will minimize the amount of abrasion that the transfer will encounter with other garments in the wash. Wash the garment in cold water using a mild detergent. DO NOT USE BLEACH Remove the garment from the wash immediately and allow to air dry. If you are going to tumble dry, use the air only setting. By doing this over the life of the garment, you will be ensuring that your image stays clear and bright. Do not iron directly on the transferred area. Note: After washing, colors may fade slightly, particularly on 100% cotton. To restore the colors to their original brightness, place a sheet of regular white paper over the image and iron at low cotton setting.

However, it is impossible for us to duplicate all variables using all substrates and transfer equipment. Therefore, it is essential that you test the paper you plan to use before beginning production to determine the suitability of the paper when using with your equipment, methods, and substrate material.
