Default Transferring text/pics to a bowl or pen

Looks like Doug found something to argue about, as usual.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you print dark colored lettering onto a dark surface, it will not be
visible. The transfer material for this includes a white background, and
it
is ironed on image side up--ergo, not reversed.

This has _absolutely nothing_ to do with the color of either the image or
the background.

It does if you want to be able to see the image. Been there--done that.


No, it doesn't. Mirror-reversing the image has absolutely nothing to do
with
the contrast of the image against its background -- but it has everything
to
do with whether lettering will appear correctly, or mirror-reversed, once
the
transfer is applied.
