How to Heat Press

For our transfers, here are some tips:

  • Press settings
    • Temp: 320
    • Pressure: medium to high
    • Time: 8-12 seconds
  • Pre press to remove moisture and to iron fabric. Fibers lay down to accept the graphic better
  • After pressing the graphic, quickly peel in one movement. If there are halftones or fine details, it's best to let it cool before peeling to ensure adhesive has completely bound to the material
  • For the final press, it's a good idea to use the following between the hot platen and the shirt:
    • teflon: makes graphic shiny\
    • parchmet paper: leaves more of a matte finish
    • piece of canvas: removes any residual adhesive float and leaves a textured, matte finish
    • textured teflon: leaves a textured, matte print
