Hi @Jaylynn2,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd be happy to help you! 

 

Yes, you can use transfer paper in your HP DeskJet 3772 printer. Transfer paper allows you to print designs or images and then transfer them onto fabrics, such as T-shirts, using heat. Here are some steps and tips for using transfer paper with your HP DeskJet 3772:

Steps to Use Transfer Paper:

Choose the Right Transfer Paper:

  • Ensure you purchase inkjet transfer paper, specifically designed for inkjet printers like your HP DeskJet 3772.
  • Select the appropriate type for your fabric (light or dark fabrics).

Prepare Your Design:

  • Use graphic design software or any image editing tool to create or choose the design you want to transfer.
  • For light fabric transfer paper, mirror or reverse your image before printing. For dark fabric transfer paper, you don't need to mirror the image.

Load the Transfer Paper:

  • Load the transfer paper into your printer's input tray. Make sure you load it with the printable side facing down (the side without the backing).

Adjust Printer Settings:

  • Open the print settings on your computer.
  • Select the appropriate paper type (often "Specialty Paper" or "Photo Paper") and choose the highest print quality for best results.

Print Your Design:

  • Print your design onto the transfer paper. Allow the ink to dry completely before handling the paper.

Prepare for Transfer:

  • Cut out the design if needed, leaving a small margin around the edges.
  • Follow the instructions provided with the transfer paper for ironing the design onto your fabric. This typically involves using a hot iron to press the design onto the fabric.

Tips for Best Results:

  • Test Print: Before printing your final design, do a test print on regular paper to ensure everything looks correct.
  • Avoid Smudging: Handle the printed transfer paper carefully to avoid smudging the ink.
  • Use a Hard Surface: When ironing the design onto the fabric, use a hard, flat surface for even pressure.

 

If you follow these steps and tips, you should be able to successfully use transfer paper with your HP DeskJet 3772 printer.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
