(Antfer) #1

  1. These papers make a great
    substrate for transferring
    photographs or images. To do
    this, select and size an image
    for transfer. Using photo
    editing software, be sure to fl ip
    the image if directionality is
    important. This is key for any
    images that include letters. Note
    that anything that appears white
    or clear in the image will be
    transparent, allowing the colors


on the paper towel to show
through.


  1. Print the image onto the iron-on
    transfer paper product following
    the manufacturer’s instructions.
    Cut out the printed image.

  2. Transfer the image to the
    paper towel, following the
    manufacturer’s instructions. Use
    a hot iron setting for transfer
    papers.


TIP: After the transfer is complete,
remember not to iron directly over the
image or you will melt the polymer and
make a mess—of both the image and
the iron.


  1. Cover a work surface with
    plastic sheeting. Place the paper
    towel on the work surface and
    lightly cover the entire thing
    with a thin layer of fl uid acrylic
    medium. Use a foam brush
    and work from the center of
    the paper towel to the edges.
