How to Print an Iron-on Photo Transfer

Many people enjoy having photos that they take printed on articles of clothing like T-shirts and sweatshirts. The advancement of technology has now made it possible for you to complete this task yourself, rather than paying someone else to do it for you. Printing an iron-on photo transfer can be done in a few short steps.

Instructions

    • 1

      Open the artwork that you want to print on your computer.

    • 2

      Print out a preview of the design on standard white paper. If necessary, resize the image and print it again until it appears the way that you want.

    • 3

      Flip the image if necessary. The design will be reversed when you iron it on the shirt, so if the direction of the image is important (such as text), flip it.

    • 4

      Print the image on an iron-on transfer sheet and let the ink dry thoroughly.

    • 5

      Cut the design out of the paper, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges.
