iColor™ Select 2-Step Transfer Media iColor™ SELECT combines a translucent transfer sheet with a strong adhesive sheet to create detailed, flexible transfers for light and dark garments—without cutting or weeding.
SELECT offers a matte finish, strong adhesive performance and good stretch at a lower cost than the premium system. It is a practical workhorse for shops producing routine logos, team apparel, promotional garments and personalized orders.
The two-step adhesive layer improves garment bonding, durability and stretch while supporting detailed artwork.
A low-sheen finish gives logos and graphics a clean, professional look.
Only toner-printed areas receive adhesive, saving time on detailed artwork and small lettering.
A strong balance of quality, durability and operating cost for regular production work.
Print detailed logos, small lettering, gradients and full-color artwork without contour cutting or manually removing excess transfer film.
For the softest and most breathable result, rasterize larger solid areas and allow the garment color to become part of the design.
This is a simplified overview. Always follow the current instructions for the exact media size, printer and garment.
Mirror-print the design on the rough, coated side of the transparent transfer sheet using the correct SELECT print mode.
Place the adhesive side of the B-Sheet face-to-face with the printed image and press at approximately 310°F for 120 seconds.
Keep the sheets on the heated lower platen and separate them immediately in one slow, low and fluid motion.
Press to the garment for the fabric-appropriate time and temperature, cool completely, peel, then complete the required fixing press.
Choose the media family that best matches the garment color, desired feel, production speed and durability requirement.

Use cold or warm water with low agitation to reduce abrasion against the printed surface.
Softener chemistry can prematurely reduce transfer durability and adhesion.
Tumble dry on a low setting; hanging the garment to dry is preferred for maximum longevity.
Never place a hot iron directly on the transfer. Cover it with heat-transfer kraft paper first.
Yes. SELECT is a matched two-step set containing a translucent transfer sheet and adhesive sheet. Do not substitute unrelated A- or B-Sheets.
Yes. It is designed for light and dark textiles and is especially useful for dark garments when printed with the appropriate white-toner layer.
SELECT emphasizes everyday value, a matte texture and strong translucent adhesive. STANDARD uses a white adhesive layer for stronger opacity and color enhancement.
The manufacturer states approximately 30–50 washes when correctly printed, married, applied, fixed and laundered.
Operate the printer and heat press in a suitable, well-ventilated workspace. Heated platens, hot media and freshly pressed garments can cause burns.
The operator is responsible for press calibration, ventilation, PPE, safe procedures and testing the complete printer-media-garment combination.
Choose iColor™ SELECT for reliable, matte, weed-free transfers that balance professional results with everyday production value.
