Trying to use white inkjet transfer paper from Imprintables Warehouse. STUCK TO TOP OF PRESS, not shirt.
Too bad the paper didn't come with ANY instructions and the press instuctions are minimal also.
I thought I had found the right way to do this - print mirrored, picture side down, remove backing paper. How do I get this off my press?

The press is teflon coated so it should come off rather simply. I dont think you take the backing paper off until after the press (peel).

I did that at first and nothing stuck to the shirt. Thanks.

This is opaque transfer paper, right? If so, print but don't mirror image. Trim. Remove backing. Place on t-shirt, print side UP. Cover with silicon or teflon sheet and press.

For removing the paper already stuck on your press, there are quite a few threads with multiple solutions for that. One was posted within the last week or two. You should be able to find them with a quick search.

Good luck. It does get better.

Since the paper just came in a plastic bag with no label, I'm not really sure at this point what it is. Thank you for your help.

What color is the markings on the backing? Maybe someone here can help identify it and from there, we can get you proper application instructions from there.

Here are a couple of the threads about transfers stuck to the platen. This will get you started. There are more out there you need more help.

Oops - heat transfer paper stuck to plate...
