Default Iron all paper, did I get the new and improved or the the old paper?

I ordered 25 sheets of the Iron All from New Milford and tried it out. The paper is blue on one side and rough white on the other. No other markings. I tested with an untrimmed sheet and a small graphic on a cotton shirt and it left a mark the shape of the paper. Will this go away with washing? Can I repress the shirt to eliminate the mark?

Also, the pressing instructions say 375F-400F at 25-35 seconds. That seems a little long. Does anyone else use a different setting?

That's a good question, how close do you trim around the image?

Binky, did you print on the bumpy side or the blue side? Also, which side faces down when you iron?

You got the new paper. My might press I press at 350degrees for 15 seconds but I did do some at 10 seconds and they work fine. No you will have to trim around you design. I get as close as I can. Lou

Do I print on the bumpy side or the blue side ?

Which side faces down when I iron?

Thanks for all the help.

Make sure & use medium to high pressure on the press. Pressed one with light pressure, transfer looked good but after washing it was blotchy.

I'm just wondering after the initial transfer with medium to high pressure, press again for a few seconds with a Teflon sheet?

If you try it both ways you will find out in a hurry. Print on the white bumpy side. The side you print on is what touches the shirt.
