Toner Transfer Media - STANDARD

iColor Standard 2-Step Transfer Paper

Create vibrant, professional white toner transfers for dark and light garments with iColor Standard 2-Step Transfer Paper. Designed for iColor white toner printers, this weed-free transfer system delivers excellent color opacity, strong adhesion, and durable results without cutting or weeding.

The 2-step process applies a white adhesive backing that enhances color vibrancy and helps transfers bond securely to cotton and many blended fabrics. Both steps use the same temperature and pressure, helping streamline production with just one heat press.

Ideal for custom T-shirts, apparel decoration, short-run production, and full-color white toner printing, with wash-tested durability of up to 50 washes.

OPAQUE TWO-STEP TEXTILE TRANSFERS

Strong Opacity, Vibrant Color and Dependable Wash Performance

iColor™ Standard 2-Step Transfer Media iColor™ STANDARD uses a printed A-Sheet and white adhesive B-Sheet to produce vivid, weed-free transfers with enhanced opacity and adhesion on light and dark garments.

Choose STANDARD when opacity and color impact come first

STANDARD's white adhesive backing helps isolate the printed colors from the garment underneath. That makes it a strong choice for dark shirts, bold logos, promotional graphics and jobs where color vibrancy and coverage are more important than achieving the softest possible hand.

Why Print Shops Choose iColor™ Standard 2-Step Transfer Media

White Adhesive Backing

The B-Sheet adds opacity behind the printed image so garment color is less likely to interfere with the design.

Vibrant Full-Color Output

Added white backing helps graphics, logos and photographs retain stronger visual impact on dark textiles.

Weed-Free Detail

Adhesive transfers only where toner is present, eliminating contour cutting and manual weeding.

Dependable Durability

A properly married, applied and fixed transfer can withstand up to approximately 50 washes.

Best Applications

  • Bold graphics on black and dark garments
  • Logos requiring stronger opacity
  • Cotton, polyester and compatible blends
  • Detailed weed-free artwork
  • Promotional apparel and production runs
  • Users who want separate A- and B-Sheet purchasing options

Professional, Weed-Free Production

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.

How the iColor™ Standard 2-Step Transfer Media Process Works

This is a simplified overview. Always follow the current instructions for the exact media size, printer and garment.

Print the A-Sheet

Mirror-print the image on the coated, rough side of the STANDARD transfer sheet using the correct print mode.

Marry with the B-Sheet

Place the smooth adhesive side face-to-face with the printed image and press at approximately 310°F for 120 seconds.

Hot Peel on the Press

While the sheets remain hot on the lower platen, separate them diagonally in one slow, low, continuous motion.

Apply and Fix

Press to the garment using the fabric-appropriate settings, cool completely, peel, and complete the post-press required for durability.

Times and temperatures are manufacturer starting points, not universal settings. Actual results vary with the printer, heat press, artwork, toner coverage, garment and environment.

Printer Compatibility and Starting Media Settings

Designed for iColor™ specialty printers and compatible with many color laser printers. White-toner capability is recommended for the best results, particularly on dark garments. Always confirm that the printer supports the selected media size and weight.

Printer FamilyManufacturer Starting Setting

iColor™ 540 / 550Thick to 163g
iColor™ 560Thick to 105g
iColor™ 800Thick to 163g; 220g may be needed for heavy coverage
Important: Select the correct iColor™ ProRIP or ProRIP Essentials media mode and page size. Printer firmware, media versions and print modes can change; consult the newest instruction sheet before production.

Production Tips for Better Transfers

  • Never run the adhesive B-Sheet through the printer. Doing so can damage the fuser.
  • Match the A- and B-Sheet size and media version. STANDARD sheets are workflow components and should not be mixed with unrelated transfer systems.
  • The standard marry step requires approximately 310°F, but garment application can be reduced for polyester, blends and delicate textiles according to the current instructions.
  • Avoid very dense, full-page graphics while learning the process. Rasterized artwork is generally softer, more breathable and easier to separate cleanly.

Recommended Garment Care

Wash Inside Out

Use cold or warm water with low agitation to reduce abrasion against the printed surface.

Avoid Fabric Softener

Softener chemistry can prematurely reduce transfer durability and adhesion.

Dry on Low

Tumble dry on a low setting; hanging the garment to dry is preferred for maximum longevity.

Protect When Ironing

Never place a hot iron directly on the transfer. Cover it with heat-transfer kraft paper first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are STANDARD A- and B-Sheets listed separately?

Some STANDARD sizes and printer-specific versions are sold as separate components. A complete transfer requires the correctly matched transfer A-Sheet and adhesive B-Sheet.

Can STANDARD be used on dark garments?

Yes. The white adhesive backing is specifically helpful for opacity and color vibrancy on dark fabric.

How is STANDARD different from PREMIUM?

STANDARD is a versatile, durable workhorse with strong opacity. PREMIUM operates at a lower temperature and is designed for the softest hand, strongest color reproduction and higher stated wash durability.

How durable is STANDARD?

The manufacturer states up to approximately 50 washes when the complete process and laundering guidance are followed.

Important Heat-Press and Workplace Safety

Operate the printer and heat press in a suitable, well-ventilated workspace. Heated platens, hot media and freshly pressed garments can cause burns.

  • Use heat-resistant gloves when the instructions require separating hot sheets on the press.
  • Follow all equipment manuals, product instructions and applicable Safety Data Sheets. Never leave heated equipment unattended.

The operator is responsible for press calibration, ventilation, PPE, safe procedures and testing the complete printer-media-garment combination.
