TRANSFER APPLICATION
The 120 volt models have a slower heat recovery (i.e. 18-20 seconds @
375°F). The 220 volt models are recommended for quicker cycle times (i.e.
10 seconds @ 375°F).
1.
Set the temperature, time, & pressure to the desired settings as
instructed.
Always
consult your specific transfer recommendations.
Typical settings are;
Cold Peel:
350°F (177°C), 15 seconds and
Hot
Split:
375°F (190°C), 10-12 seconds.
2.
Align substrate on lower platen. Smooth wrinkle from garments.
NOTE:
Wrinkles may be removed by bringing the heated platen in contact
with the garment for a few seconds before the transfer is positioned. Push
the
platen release
button provided on the front of the lower right frame
tube of the machine to interrupt the normal cycle and release the upper
heat platen.
3.
Position the transfer in the desired location on the substrate.
NOTE:
The transfer image should be “mirrored” before transferring except
when transferring to substrates where the image shows through, i.e. glass
tiles and cutting boards.
TIP:
When transferring double sided or sublimation transfers to
garments, always place a sheet of transfer paper or a PTFE sheet
between the layers of the garments to avoid bleed through or reheating
of the applied transfer.
TIP:
When sublimating to tiles and/or cutting boars, first place a tile
blanket or felt pad on lower platen, second the transfer, third the
substrate and finally a PTFE blanket or transfer paper to protect the
upper platen.
4.
Swing the upper heat platen over the lower platen. A stop is installed
for perfect alignment between the upper and lower platen.
5.
Pull the handle down until the handle locks.
6.
Continuously peel the paper off the transfer and garment.
NOTE:
Do not fold the transfer back on itself. Successful transfer work
depends on the correct balance of time, temperature and pressure. The
type and thickness of the material and the kind of transfer being used will
determine what settings are necessary. Specific application instructions
are enclosed with transfers.
For hot peel/split transfers, immediately peel the paper after the machine
has opened.
DO NOT
allow the transfer to cool. For cold peel transfers,
rub the transfer with an eraser or cloth and allow to cool for 5-10 seconds
before removing the release paper.
