A popular application is image transfer onto T-shirts.The recommended materials have been extensively tested andhave been selected to provide optimum performance.Hints, tips and testing resultsXerox testing has shown the following:• When the recommended materials are run as recommendedfor your copier/printer, feeding performance will be good butshould not be expected to equal the performance of Xerox24 lb (90 g/m2 ) Color Xpressions paper.• Refer to the Recommended Materials list for your copier/printer for the correct mode to use when running transferpapers.• To avoid problems (jams and poor image quality) caused byboth dry and humid environments, store Xerox transfer paperin its resealable bag with desiccant pack. Other brands shouldalso be stored in resealed packages when not in use.• Dry ink saturation on electronic originals should be limited to atotal of 280% (70% for each color). Higher dry ink saturationcan result in poorly fused prints.• T-shirts consisting of a 50/50 blend of polyester/cotton providebetter image durability than shirts made of 100% cotton. Tightweave fabrics (heavy T-shirts) provide better results thanloose knit fabrics (sweat shirts).• Thorough testing has not been done on brands of single steptransfer papers other than Xerox papers. High rates ofmultifeed jams and potentially damaging fuser jams may beencountered with brands that have not been recommended.Run only the recommended materials.
