Pre-Production:
Please check transfers carefully before heat-applying.

Set Temperature:
Set the press to 340°F

Pre-Heat Garment:
First, place the garment on platen, heat press for 3-5 seconds or until there is no more steam to remove wrinkles and moisture. Ensure there are no obstructions such as buttons, pockets, or seams. If there are, raise only the print area with a Print Perfect Pad.

Position & Press:
Place the transfer on the garment so that the ink side is facing down. Close the heat press and apply for 8 seconds.

Peel Hot:
Open the press and peel the carrier immediately within 1-2 seconds, in a smooth, even motion.

Time: 8 Seconds

Temperature: 340°F

Pressure: Medium/Firm 6-8 (60-80 psi)

Peel: Hot

Note: The recommended time, temperature, and pressure settings are for Stahls' Hotronix® heat press machines. Settings on other heat presses may vary.

Do not use a cover sheet

Can the same color in a design be both puff and non-puff?

Yes! Just let us know which areas you want in puff and which should be standard ink.

Is there a limit to the number of puff colors in one design?

No , you can add as many puff ink colors as you’d like.

Can puff ink touch non-puff ink?

Yes! Puff ink areas can sit directly next to non-puff ink in your design.
