In designing your artwork remember that white does not print. Not sure how to properly load your printer for transfer paper? Mark a plain sheet of paper then run it through to see which side comes out printed. Put the paper in your printer so that it prints on the clean white side. Transfer paper has stripes or some other design on the non-printing side. Get the right kind of transfer paper for your printer and fabric.

The text should be backward on screen and on the printout. This procedure is especially critical if you have text in your design. Don't forget to flip or mirror the image.
Do this to ensure that colors print correctly, that your image doesn't fall into your printer's no-print zone along the margins, and to see the actual size of the design -sometimes the on-screen view can be deceiving. Always print a preview copy of your image before printing it on the (often expensive) transfer paper.
