Want to customize a T-shirt, canvas
bag, or quilt square with your own unique design? Printing
onto iron-on transfer paper is as easy as regular printing.
The difference is that you must print your design as a MIRROR
image.
The Print Shop 3.5 and 4.0 make it
simple to produce a mirror image. In fact, you can take any
project and change it to mirror image:
Select all (Ctrl-A),
right-click, choose... Flip > Flip Horizontal.
Some things like regular text
and shapes, will not flip horizontal.
Solution 1: Replace
text with Headline text before you flip.
Solution 2: This
method ensures that everything, including text and shapes, gets
flipped.
- Save your project as JPG (use best
possible resolution and quality settings).
- Open a new blank project, then add
the new JPG.
- With the JPG selected, click Flip>
Flip Horizontal.
- Ready to print!
(I also find this method better for
complex projects with a great deal of elements, special effects,
and high resolution photos. It simplfies the instructions to
your printer which avoids long spooling times and possible printing
errors.)
Tip: Use big, bold text for
iron-ons. Small text ironed onto fabric, is very hard to
read.
