The iron leaves a
shine or an imprint
on the garment.

uneven, for instance because
you were ironing over a seam
or a fold in the garment.

imprint is not permanent and will disappear when
you wash the garment. Avoid ironing over seams or
folds or you can place a cotton cloth over the area
to be ironed to avoid imprints.
