Pre-Application:

  • Do I need to mirror or flip my image before printing?
    • Yes, and load transfer sheets into printer so the image is printed on the non-glossy (un-lined) side.
  • What is the best way to apply the transfer to the puzzle?
    • It can be applied with a household iron or heat press (do not steam) on a hard smooth surface (not an ironing board). Lay a pillowcase on the ironing surface.
    • Note- set iron to “Linen” setting and iron firmly and evenly for approximately 2min 45 seconds.

Post-Application:

  • What is the best way to break the puzzle apart?
    • Hold the puzzle sheet with both hands, carefully and gently snap apart the edge pieces on all four sides of the puzzle until the 0.5” border is separated.
    • Discard the border. TIP: For a crisper look, use the iron set to the hottest setting and repress with the parchment paper for 30 seconds with the same left to right pattern.
    • Make sure the border is removed and the parchment paper covers the entire puzzle as direct exposure with the iron and transfer could damage your masterpiece.
    • Wait to peel the parchment paper until the puzzle is completely cool.
    • Once cooled – Loosen and separate the rest of the puzzle, one vertical row at a time.
    • Carefully separate each puzzle piece by pulling apart gently. Repeat with each row of the puzzle until all pieces are separated.
