Heat Transfer Instructions
Step 1:
Set temperature, pressure & time on your heat press.
- Temperature: 300°f - 320°f
- Time: 10-15 seconds
- Pressure: Medium to High
- manual press: tighten dial until the press won’t close. Loosen dial progressively until the press closes.
Step 2:
Pre-press the tee for 5-10 seconds
Pre-pressing removes the moisture from the garment ensuring proper adhesion and minimizing potential for shrinkage.
Step 3:
Press transfer graphic on garment for 12-15 seconds.
Step 4:
Let transfer cool for 45 seconds before peeling transfer sheet.
Step 5:
Place Teflon sheet or parchment paper over the garment and press again for 10-15 seconds (peel Teflon sheet / parchment paper hot)
Need help?
- Always test press your transfer on a spoiled or old garment to dial in your heat press before pressing your production.
- Transfer not sticking to the garment? Increase your pressure, ensure even heating, and make sure the transfer is cool to the touch.
- Still won't peel easily. Repress for 4 seconds then try using a different corner.
- These instructions are just your starting point; each garment and material are different and should be tested to ensure proper adhesion.
