Thank you so much for your advice! I've managed to print transfers for t-shirts for a protest thanks to you! Great work!

I have a different question about inverted printing. I have been using the Microsoft translation app for iPhone to scan and translate a German technical manual. It works well until I print. It will only print the translation inverted. It prints the German text normally.

Remember that all the white areas will print as black, so with a lot of white in the picture you could use up as much as 20 or 50 pages of normal printing.
We photocopied a check, open air, and used up a good part of a cartridge painting the rest of the page black. (It should have been backed up with the white cover.)

I tried to print a mirror image for my HP Office Jet 4500 from Word and the tip you gave me, doesn't exist. There are no properties that list mirror image. Any other solutions?
Thanks,

Got a version of Word that uses the menu interface (Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, or Word 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
