You can use almost any graphics or creative printing program to design iron on transfer artwork. Ideally the program will have an option to flip or reverse the image for transfer printing or you can manually flip the image in the document. However, there are some t-shirt design software programs specifically for creating personalized t-shirt designs and similar iron on transfer craft projects. These programs are for the Mac platform.
1. The Print Shop for Mac Version 2
The Print Shop for Mac 2 - MacKiev
The newest version of The Print Shop for the Mac has better layout tools, more graphics and photos (19,500+), more special effects and includes thousands more projects (9500+) such as multi-page booklets. Like version 1 it integrates with your Mac apps such as iPhoto, iDVD, and iCal. Use its layout tools and graphics to design images for t-shirts and other items to print onto iron-on transfer paper.
