Step-by-Step Application

1. Design & Mirror Printing

Set your canvas size to match your blank pad. Crucial: Flip your image horizontally (Mirror/Flip) before printing, especially if using text. Print at "High Quality" or "Best" DPI settings.

2. Heat Application

Place the blank pad fabric-side up. Position the transfer face-down. Using a hot iron (no steam) and firm downward pressure, iron in steady circular motions for 60 seconds. Focus on the edges.

3. The Reveal

Let the pad cool completely to the touch. Once cold, gently peel the backing paper from one corner to reveal your vibrant, custom design.

🎉 Done! Enjoy your professional-grade personalized desk accessories.
