Heat Press Instructions

Hover transfer under open heat press for 10 seconds to dry excess moisture.


1) Cover the bottom press platen with a protective paper sheet.

2) Place the garment, imaging side face up, on the protective paper and lint roll the entire area that will come into contact by the press.

3) Place a piece of protective paper between the layers of the fabric (if applicable) to prevent the image bleeding through to the other side. You also can use Vapor foam for this purpose.

4) Prepress the fabric, let cool.

5) Press and paper lines can be an issue when pressing shirts. Click here for a video on the Deckle technique.

Lightly mist transfer with DyeTrans Pro Spray.

6) Place the transfer on the fabric, smooth wrinkles.

7) Cover with protective paper. This paper must cover the entire area of the material that comes into contact with the heat platen.

8) Press with Temp/Time/Pressure settings listed above.
