How to Apply



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

Set Temperature:
For 100% cotton or cotton/poly blends, set the press to 340-360°F.
For 100% polyester and synthetics, set the press to 290-320°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.
For 100% cotton or cotton/poly blends, press for 12-15 seconds.
For 100% polyester and synthetics, press for 12-15 seconds.

Peel Cold:
Open the press and remove the shirt. Allow to cool completely to the touch. (This may take several minutes to cool completely.) Peel the carrier in a smooth, even motion.
