How does an iron-on picture work?
Iron-on images, also known as heat transfers, are images that are printed onto special transfer paper using a computer and an inkjet or laser printer. The image is then applied to the fabric with the printed side facing up. Using an iron set to a medium-high setting (no steam), the design is heated. The heat causes the ink to melt into the fibers of the fabric, leaving a permanent image. To ensure good adhesion of the transfer, it is important to apply even pressure and follow all instructions included with each transfer product.
How can I make iron-on pictures myself?
You can make your own iron-on pictures by printing a photo or design with an inkjet printer and then transferring the image to the fabric with an iron. To do this, you will need to purchase special transfer paper that is suitable for use with inkjet printers. Once you have printed your image on the paper, you can follow the instructions on the package to transfer it to the fabric with the iron. Self-printed iron-on images have the disadvantage of being of lower quality than professionally printed images. Self-printed iron-on images can also fade over time, while professionally printed images last much longer.
