Fusing Film & White Adhesive paper:
Note: A conventional home iron will not provide a satisfactory image transfer.
- Set temperature to 310° F and preheat the heat press the Silicone pad for at least 2 minutes. Perform this after lengthy intervals between uses of the heat press. This ensures better bonding between Film and Adhesive paper
- Place the printed film sheet face up in the middle of the heat press bottom platen
- Place the White Adhesive sheet faced down on top of the Printed film sheet. Make sure the adhesive sheet is cut smaller than the film and does not run over the border, otherwise place a protector underneath the printed film sheet.
- Press at medium pressure (approx. 40 - 60 Lbs.) for 90 - 120 seconds - wait 8 seconds before starting peeling
- While the 2 sheets are laying on the heat press, pull the White adhesive sheet carefully in a diagonal direction from the bottom film sheet. Pull in a calm and consistent motion while maintaining the film sheet on the bottom heat platen. Do not lift the papers from the heated bottom silicone as it may reduce the success of bonding.
Pressing: T-shirts
Note: A conventional home iron will not provide a satisfactory image transfer.
- See fabric setting temperature setting below from 210° F to 300° F and at medium pressure (approx. 40 Lbs)
- Pre-press the fabric if desired and let it cool down
- Cut the white edge line from the film sheet that may have been created by the adhesive paper
- Position the film sheet on the fabric face down and press for 30 seconds
- Peel the film sheet of the fabric when completely cold
