When using gbao transfer paper for white and light colour fabric, you first print the image reversed left to right (mirror image or flip horizontal), trim roughly around the image, then position the printed image face down on the receiving fabric on a really stable flat surface that will not be damaged by the heat of the iron.

Do not use an ironing board. The iron needs to be one that uses at least 1400 watts, ideally more and to have been connected and heating up for about eight to ten minutes on maximum heat. If it is a steam iron, switch the steam off before you plug the iron in. Be sure that there are no creases in the receiving fabric.

Iron firmly all over the back of the transfer paper in small circles so you don’t miss pressure where the steam nozzles are, with steady pressure, making sure that the paper does not move in relation to the fabric. After steady, evenly distributed pressure for about three minutes take the iron away and wait a minute or so before gently peeling the paper away from the transferred image.

After peeling the backing paper, the image will show on the fabric. To ensure a good transfer put the silicon sheet supplied or high quality regular printing paper over the printed image, iron over again for approx. 1 minute and peel off immediately while hot.

If you are using a heat press machine, skip the ironing phase and ensure that you use 180 degrees for 13 seconds and repress for 3 seconds with silicon.
