Best carbon paper - just follow the instructions

I love making homemade t-shirts for my family and friends for holidays and parties. I started using transfer paper in 2015 and have tried many other transfer papers but this new one is better than any I have used before. For best results, here are my suggestions: 1) ALWAYS print on the smooth (blank) side. This is easier to understand as the brand logo is on the back of the paper. Make sure all your text is mirrored and the design looks good. 2) Print out the final design at the best quality your printer can output. For example, set the print quality to Photo or High Photo Quality. 3) Cut close to the printed parts, but leave a small margin - about 2mm. Don't cut so tight that your pattern falls apart or warps when ironed. 4) Place the clothes on a hard and heat-resistant surface and use a hot iron set to at least cotton/denim and turn off the steam. Do not use an ironing board as it is too soft. I use a piece of wood covered with a towel. 5) Follow the instructions on the box (on the back) or YouTube video tutorial and on the product page. When ironing, press firmly and allow time for the heat to transfer all of the pressure to the fabric. If you put enough pressure on it and iron it, the print will come out right. 6) Finally, allow the item to cool, resist the temptation to lift the corner until it has completely cooled. Follow this and the results will be excellent. 7) If you can plan ahead, it's good to give them a final rinse in water with a little vinegar to set the colour. Dry flat and wash on low to soften the entire shirt. I love these things, just ordered 2 more.
