Transfer Photo Paper
Transfer paper printer settings?
I'm making some curtains and using inkjet iron on transfers, and am printing my own pictures to go on them. But when I come to print, what setting do I need to be on? eg plain paper photo paper etc, as in the list theres nothing about this sort of paper
Well I've bought some cheap plain white cotton curtains, that are the same material as t-shirts so I hope they will be ok. Its just a novelty thing for my childrens room really, I cant afford Mothercare 
I've done quite a few Iron on Tshirts and socks, the setting I use is 'Transparency', or if that setting isn't available, choose hi quality paper setting, this should put the most ink on the transfer. Not sure about using them on curtains though, iron on transfers may not be best, if you're going to I'd do a lot of practising on cheep material first.
Few tips: If your design is smaller than the A4 sheet, cut out a transfer mask, a paper mask with about a half inch gap between the edge of the mask and the start of the transfer pattern, this will give a cleaner result and will make the transfer easier to remove.
Remember. heat and press to get transfer on, Heat and pull gently to remove transfer paper.
The least time between printing the transfer sheet and ironing on the material the better.
Put some silver foil under the material your putting the transfer on, keeps the heat where you want it.
Had great results myself, printing a design on socks is a great Xmas present. Good luck with the curtains, but I still wouldn't myself, socks and Tshirts are cheep if something goes wrong.
-----------------------------------
Should just say, the transfers are reverse so if you want them the same way as you see the transfer, you should select the reverse printing(mirror).
