How to Press

*Please note: Since all heat presses vary in terms of temperature and pressure, below are general guidelines.  If this is your first time ordering with us, we do recommend ordering a few extra designs for use in determining optimal temp, time and pressure for your press.

 

Pre-Press garment for 5 seconds (prior to applying image)

1st Press: 300 degrees for 10 seconds medium pressure with image in proper placement

Peel Cool or Warm The transfer should cool just a bit to the touch before removing the film. (rubbing the film with cloth is recommended)

2nd Press: Cover with Teflon (for shiny look) or parchment paper (for matte look), 300 degrees for 10 sec, medium pressure.

Note: Firm and even pressure is important for good adhesion, avoid any pocket/seams/buttons/zipper/etc. within the press area

Polyester/Blend Fabric: Lower the temperature 250-285 degrees & shorten time 3-8 seconds, as these fabrics absorb heat at much faster rate. 

100% Polyester: Lower the temperature to 250-285 degrees & shorten press time to 3-8 seconds, this fabric can take some tweaking with your press to determine the best time, temp and pressure.  We suggest practicing to determine the proper settings.

Wash/Care: Hang or lay flat. Do not use bleach. Wash inside out, warm or cool water and low heat dry.
