FAQS

Will this paper work on my laser printer?

Over 95% of laser printers are compatible with this paper but there are just too many models on the market for us to test
We recommend testing the paper before attempting to print several sheets at once

What print settings should I use?

The idea is to find a slow setting which gives the printer the most time to fuse the toner onto the paper - this is usually a 'heavy paper' setting or a 'transparency' or 'label' mode

Any other tips?

Run a few blank sheets of paper through the printer first to bring it up to operating temperature
Experiment with paper settings until you find a setting which prints a good quality image
Leave the printed image to dry for 10-20 minutes before transferring
Avoid using the best image quality settings as the printer may find it difficult to fuse the excess toner onto the paper

yolö tips...

This products has been designed for use in high heat laser printers so you may have to adjust your printer settings accordingly
Use on dark coloured polyester or nylon fabrics are NOT recommended because the dyes may migrate through the transfer
We recommend using a Teflon Sheet to protect the heat press platen from sticking to the transfer sheet when using dark transfers
Choose garments with a tight weave, specifically with sweatshirts
Purchase yolö disposable silicone sheets or a reusable yolö Teflon sheet to protect your heat press during transfer
