I found an image I want to use but who in the world do you make it print backwards so you can do the transfer??

Someone on here mentioned printing it on a transparency. You would then turn it over and do your fbct using the back side of it. I just used coloring pictures though and it didn't matter if the image was backward. I think it really only matters for writing.

If you have some photo editing software, there is often a way to reverse the image. So, you can scan it, reverse it, then print it back out.

I've only done 1 transfer and it didn't work out for me, but I got the drawing backwards by printing it out and then tracing it with a black permanent marker. It was heavy/dark enough that it showed up perfectly on the back of the paper.

When you go to print something and the print screen shows up, you can click on print properties. (Should be there somewhere.) On the paper tab of mine it has media type. Generally it says plain paper. I change mine to say iron on transfer and then just print on plain paper. It prints it backwards.
