Resolution for iron-on transfer

I would like to make a T-shirt for my granddaughter with her picture on it. Her mother sent me a photo taken with her digital camera. It came in .jpg format with 180 ppi resolution. I will work with it, adding some text, etc. Can someone tell me the best resolution for printing on the transfer?

Thanks. Eva

There should be some instructions in the package if I remember right. I made some a couple of years ago, and I think I probably printed at around 300ppi, although I don't remember now. And don't forget to change the JPEG to a non-lossy format before you work with it. 180ppi is just barely enough resolution as it is, you don't want to risk losing any more quality.

Consider that the fabric (and the transfer paper) you are transferring the image to cannot support 'photo-quality' settings. I've done T-shirt transfers at 150PPI with fine results. The trick is to adjust your printer settings, not the image resolution. Perform a test at 'med' quality and 'photo quality' printer settings, which is really varying the amount of available ink for the fabric.

Best regards
Walt
