		+	== Transfer your images to the T-shirt using the [[Heat Press]] ==
		+	* Make sure that your images are cut down to a little beyond the edges (1/4" - 1/2" border) and weeded. Since these images are not reversed, we will want to use the transfer paper (which is, I think, preferred, as it lets you put the image onto the shirt and stick it where you want it). Cut some transfer paper to fit the images, and carefully press it onto the image.
		+	* Use the squeegees to get the air out. You will want to avoid air bubbles as much as possible - specifically on the printed image. If air is above portions of the ink, we have seen it behave (color) slightly differently when pressed. For the single-color vinyl, this is not an issue.
		+	* Take one of the images, remove the backing, and place it onto the T-shirt in the appropriate spot.
		+	* Follow the directions on the [[Heat Press#Training\|Heat Press Training]] page to affix the image.

 * Use the Size and Shape window on the right of the screen to rotate or rescale the graphic as needed. The origin of the cut, as set earlier, should be in the bottom left corner of the work-space.
 Once you’re ready, select File->Cutting. Make sure that your image appears where you think it should (bottom left corner) and that the size seems correct.
