This pen does not use special paper. You trace or draw something onto plain copier paper using this pen, and then you iron it on to your project and only the ink transfers. It is a great outline for painting! (quilters and embroidery people use this to put patterns on to fabric to stitch) It is permanent, so I usually do an outline of paint or fabric marker over the top of this when I’m done painting, but it’s probably not necessary. (ie the 3d paints make good outlines) You can iron your design onto anything that can take a hot iron.

Wording from packaging:

Ink glides on like a marker. Transfer any design in 2 easy steps:

1 Trace or draw any design onto plain paper.

2 Iron design onto most any surface where a hot iron can be used.

Make multiple copies from a single application. Make permanent non-bleeding transfers for…

· Fabric painting

Helpful hints

· Always test pen on a sample of the receiving surface to assure precise results

· When transferring onto any surface where ink penetration might occur, protect surface underneath

· When transferring a design that won’t be covered with embellishments, the receiving fabric must contain at least 35% polyester to insure permanency of ink: wait 3-5 before laundering gently with mild detergent

· When outlining patterns for transfers, the image will be reversed when transferred to another surface.

o Important for numbers and letters. To get the transferred image to appear in the original direction, draw or trace the design onto plain paper with a dark marker or #2 pencil, turn the paper over and retrace image on the wrong side with transfer pen

o Another method is to trace design onto clear acetate, turn acetate over and trace reversed image onto regular paper with transfer pen

· Press down on pen lightly to form a fine line, and harder for a broad line

· Pre-heat iron to hottest setting the receiving surface can stand without scorching. The hotter the iron, the faster and darker the design will transfer. DO NOT USE STEAM!

DIRECTIONS

1. Follow directions on pen to start flow of ink

2. Draw or trace design onto any smooth paper, like typing paper

3. Place transfer, ink side down, against the receiving surface

4. Hold transfer in place and press iron down firmly. Move iron slightly to avoid light impression under steam holes

5. After about 30 seconds, without shifting the transfer pattern, lift a corner to see if design has transferred to your satisfaction. If not, reapply iron
