How to set Epson printer to print on transfer paper
I would like to know how to set my epson stylus printer CX 5500 in order to print on t-shirt transfer paper. I tried to set my printer to the settings recommended according to the transfer paper directions but can't find the settings within the options listed on the computer. Can someone please help?
re: How to set Epson printer to print on transfer paper
what options can't you find and were are you looking for them at ? You would not look for them in the computer options. You need to be in the printer options.
On XP go to START
then PRINTER and FAXES
Find your printer and right click on it.
Click on properties
Then click on printing preferences at the bottom. That should bring up your printer software to make any option changes.

Thanks for the feedback. I did get the printer setting figured out for printing on transfer paper but my printer doesn't give me an "option" of paper except photo paper or regular paper. Should I choose photo paper? And if so, glossy, matte, etc.? Also, if I have words to print, don't I have to print out a "mirror image" in order to transfer my picture w/ words onto my t-shirt. Otherwise the words will be backwards. Oh, this is more complicated than I thought. Can anyone please give me some answers? Thanks so much!

Plain paper setting (regular paper).
If it is paper for white or light shirts, you mirror it. That option can be found in the printer settings.
If it is dark/opaque paper for dark shirts, you do not mirror it.
