Coastal Inkjet Opaque Transfer Paper is of the highest quality of heat transfer papers on the market. This one-step dark transfer paper is used to heat transfer images from your inkjet printer directly to dark substrates/garments.

This process is not only available but its quality is very reputable. This one-step opaque heat transfer bonds incredibly well with Dazzle-Trans for a high gloss finish.
This Heat Transfer process can be done with a hand iron, however the quality of the iron-on heat transfer may be poor.

Printing & Transferring Instructions
1. Printing and Preparing Image
- The unprinted (vs. side with grid) surface is the imaging side of the paper.
- Print design on the paper with correct orientation (not as mirror image).
- Check printer settings; single-sheet feeding is recommended.
2. Cut Out Design
- Do not leave a margin around edge of heat transfer.
- Use an image with rounded edges to avoid corner liftoff after washing.
3. Peel Off Grid Backing Paper
- This is done by slightly tearing backing paper of the heat transfer paper on edge of paper and gently peeling it away.
4. Preparing for Transfer (Heat Press Application Recommended)
- Prepare heat press at 350 degrees F.
- Place transfer paper with design facing upwards in desired position on fabric.
- Cover image with enclosed silicon paper (which can be used a couple times).
- Using above recommended temperature, apply firm pressure for 15-20 seconds.
Transferring Image using Hand Iron
- Iron on a hard surface, NOT an ironing board. Place a pillowcase or t-shirt between your hard surface and your garment to allow the heat to penetrate the transfer.
- Cover imaged transfer film with enclosed silicon paper. (This is to protect the imaged transfer film).
- Adjust iron at highest temperature setting Do not Steam.
- Step press, with firm pressure, slowly along each side of the image. Hold each press for 45 seconds, ensure all edges and corners are firmly pressed. Continue to step press over the entire image, again each step press should be held for 45 seconds until entire image has been pressed and all areas have been pressed for 45 seconds each.
Total ironing time should be 5 to 6 minutes for 8.5 x 11 size image.
5. Peel & Wear
- Allow fabric to cool completely, then smoothly and evenly peel away overlay paper.
