It melts while being printed on and stuffs up your expensive printer. Laser paper is different, though I'm not sure how. I'm sure wikipedia would know. |

| 1217552 | 2011-07-21 08:20:00 | Isn't inkjet printing water soluble? I seem to remember it speading everywhere once when a page copped a few large drops of rain? Come to think of it I made some kitchen labels for Mrs T and they lasted about the same lifespan as a sugar cube in a spa pool. OK for one-off use I guess. Cheers Billy 8-{) I bought a pack of A4 transfers about a year ago. I am yet to use them. I opened up the pack and there are instructions inside for washing the T-shirt after it has been printed. 1. Leave for 24 hours before washing. 2. Wash inside out with other darks in cold water. 3. The t-shirt can be ironed successfully after washing but turn the garment inside out and avoid direct contact of the image with the iron. 4. The image will withstand many washes, and will be long lasting, but the image may degrade a little during the first few washes. 5. After repeated washings, the image may diminish. Simply re-iron with overlay paper (do not iron directly on image) to bring it back to life. 6. Do not tumble dry after washing. 7. Do not dry clean.
