Inkjet printer iron-on transfer removal from a t-shirt.
I used a steam iron set to the dry iron setting to iron my transfer onto the front of a dark brown 100% cotton t-shirt. My transfer ended up having white dots which made the picture look blotchy. I guess the steam holes in the bottom of the iron are what caused the problem, even though I had it set to the dry iron setting. I had to figure out how to remove the transfer because I already had letters ironed on the back of the shirt.
This is what worked for me. Heat your iron on the highest setting for about 10 minutes. I used the cotton setting. Place the front of the shirt on the ironing board with the transfer picture facing up towards you. Place a piece of plain white paper over the transfer. You must have patience and a little muscle for the next part. I kept moving the iron all over the white paper while putting pressure on the iron. After about 5 minutes the paper was really hot. I peaked under the paper and the transfer was sticking to the paper. You have to keep ironing over the paper until the entire transfer peels off onto the white paper. I've removed two transfers using this method.
