Basic printing procedures
Ink fixation by means of heat press
(1)
Place the silicone foam, T-shirt and peel-off sheet in position under the heat press first, and fixate the ink properly.
<TIPS>
For the guidelines on fixation conditions of ink,
☞
"5-10. Fixation of ink >>P.5-34"
For details, refer to the instruction manual of your heat press.
There is a tendency to bring the print result to an almost matte finish if a silicone-coated paper is used as a peel-off sheet or
to an almost bright finish if a fluororesin sheet is used as the same at the ink fixation stage. Selectively use either of them
according to your desired finish.
Ink fixation by means of conveyor-type oven
(2)
Fixate inks onto a T-shirt by means of the conveyor-type oven.
<TIPS>
For the guidelines on fixation conditions of ink,

"5-10. Fixation of ink >>P.5-34"
For the conveyor-type oven, identify the oven's internal temperature, and check up on actual ink fixation result.
For details, refer to the instruction manual of your conveyor-type oven.
