Iron-On Info
Sheila and my sister asked about the iron-on T-shirts. I found the "Iron-on Transfers Inkjet" paper at Office Depot in the paper section (with the journals for some reason). It's about $15 for 6 sheets that work on light shirts, or a dollar more if you're using a dark T-shirt. You load one sheet at a time in your printer and then print whatever you want - images from the web, pictures you draw on Paint, etc. Don't forget to reverse what you're printing first - we forgot to do that for Drew so it came out backwards the first time - he just put it on the front of the shirt and put the correct one on the back - haha. You iron the shirt first to dry it out completely, then iron on the picture for about a minute and a half - instructions are in there. After it cools peel it carefully and don't wash it for 72 hours. Voila!

How do I reverse what I'm going to print? I was going to type something up on Word & print it out on that paper but will it come out backwards on the shirt I wonder?
If you're in Paint, there's a "flip/rotate" icon under "View" at the top left somewhere - I just tried it. You can flip horizontal or vertical - do horizontal (then you'll have to scroll to the right to see your word). With any picture there's usually a "edit" or "view" button where you can reverse it. And yes, it will come out backwards if you don't flip it.
Thank you.... will definitely try it.
