PRINTING / PRESSING
Using the swing handle, move the upper platen
to access the lower platen. While heating, the
print handle should remain raised to extend
the life of the silicone pad.
For best results, “thread” the garment around
the lower platen so a single layer of fabric is on
top of the silicone pad.
Lower the print handle fully until the upper pla-
ten locks into the press position. After the recom-
mended pre-press time has elapsed, lift the print
handle.
Position the garment on the lower platen, cen-
tering the transfer area on the platen.
Some transfer products recommend a “pre-press” to
heat and flatten the garment before printing. Using
the swing handle, position the upper platen over the
garment.
Swing away the upper platen and align the transfer
on the garment.
