Big thanks to Lou (badalou) for the Video Tutorials showing how to successfully print and press with Mira Cool and Iron All Transfer Papers.
Introduction from Lou:
This is my first attempt at doing this production and I am sure it will not win any awards but the idea is to help show you what I do when I work with these 2 transfers which are actually the same but come from 2 different sources.
It also may help answer some questions to some of you who have never worked with transfers before and want to see it in action. I did not use a script and tried to describe each procedure as I went along.
So forgive the stuttering and the "ah ah ah's". If I was making videos for a living, we would be sleeping in our car.

Step 1: The introduction. Lou welcomes us to his office and let's us know what to expect. Note the cool t-shirt he's wearing

Thanks again Lou!
