How to Press Your Transfers Correctly
As decorators you are faced with more challenges today when heat pressing transfers because of the variety of fabrics used. Following our tips will help you streamline the process and in return increase profit.
1. Adjust Your Settings
ALWAYS USE A COMMERCIAL HEAT PRESS! Home iron or hobby equipment do not provide even temperature and pressure that is needed to accurately apply our transfers. Set your time and temperature to the recommended settings that you receive with your transfers. Keep in mind these are recommended settings, time & temperature can vary depending on garments or heat press.
2. Load Your Garment
Lay your garment on to the platen and preheat the garment for 3 seconds to create a smooth/flat pressing surface.
3. Place Your Transfer
SCREEN PRINTED TRANSFERS: Place your transfer face down or right reading on your garment.
DIGITAL, VINYL & RHINESTONE TRANSFERS: Remove mylar backing, place your transfer right reading on your garment.
SUBLIMATION TRANSFERS: Place your transfer face down or right reading on your garment.
SUBLIMATED APPLIQUE: Place your applique right reading on your garment.
