Hi @TrippyTees,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP OfficeJet 6600 printer is having trouble printing on transfer paper, there are several factors to consider. Here's how you can troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Use Compatible Transfer Paper:

Ensure that you are using transfer paper specifically designed for inkjet printers. Using the wrong type of transfer paper can cause poor print quality or may not work at all.

2. Select the Correct Paper Type:

In your printer settings or printing preferences, make sure to select the appropriate paper type setting for transfer paper. Look for options such as "Photo Paper" or "Inkjet Transfer Paper" in the paper type dropdown menu.

3. Adjust Print Settings:

• Set the print quality to the highest setting available for best results.
• Disable any "EconoMode" or "Draft Mode" settings, as these may not apply enough ink for the transfer process.
• Ensure that the printer is set to print in color if your design includes color elements.

4. Check Ink Levels:

Ensure that your printer has sufficient ink levels, especially in the cartridges corresponding to the colors used in your design. Low ink levels can affect print quality.

5. Print a Test Page:

Before printing on the transfer paper, print a test page on regular paper to ensure that the printer is functioning correctly and that the design appears as expected.

6. Proper Loading:

Load the transfer paper into the printer tray with the printable side facing down. Make sure the paper is positioned correctly and does not exceed the maximum paper capacity of the tray.

7. Allow Sufficient Drying Time:

After printing, allow the transfer paper to dry completely before attempting to apply it to the fabric. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for drying time.

8. Apply Proper Heat and Pressure:

When transferring the design onto fabric using a heat press or iron, ensure that you apply even heat and pressure according to the instructions provided with the transfer paper.

9. Check for Printer Compatibility:

Double-check your printer's specifications and manual to confirm that it is compatible with printing on transfer paper. Some printers may not support this feature.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
