Help me Mike – My printer or software will not flip my image for heat transfers

If your software doesn’t support flipping objects, try the free
pdf995 printer driver. It’s a PDF generator, which means it takes your file (from Word, IE, etc) and “prints” or converts it to a PDF.





Once you download and install the software, follow these steps to print a mirror-image item:

  • Choose PDF995 from the Printer Name drop-down.
  • Click the Properties button, and then the Advanced button.
  • On the Advanced Options page, expand the Document Options section, then the PostScript Options section.
  • Change the final list item to say Mirrored Output: Yes.
  • When you tell it OK to print, it’ll ask you where you want to save your PDF document. Pay attention to where you save it.
  • Two ads will pop-up (unless you splurge for the $9.95 paid version of the software). Just click Continue using the sponsored version on the first ad, and close the second.
  • Open your PDF file to see the mirrored (and, oddly, upside-down) output.
    Print this to your printer and use it to transfer.
