3. Printing methods
Step 1: Make sure the cord is connected well to the wall socket.
Lift up the handle to open the press. The press
should always be in the open position when the press is heating.
Place the object (i.e. T-shirt , Mouse Pad
etc) and transfer paper with images facing down the object on under plate; adjust the pressure to be
moderate and switch on the press.
Step 2: Temperature indicator light is on. Set the temperature according to different transfer material.
Recommended temperature is 180
℃
~200
℃
Step 3: Then set the time according to different transfer material.
Step 4: When the temperature rise to the set temperature, the buzzer sends out sounds; then close down heat
platen (meantime the sounds stop) and starts to transfer.
Step 5: Time is counting down; once time is up, the buzzer will send out a sound again, then open up the heat
platen (meantime the sounds stop).
Step 6: Work finish and take out the object. If you want to print on another object, place the object on press bed and
confirm the TIME and TEMPERATURE set as last time, then repeat above process. Unplug the power cord
when is machine is not in use.
Step 7: Consult the Transfer Paper instructions on whether to peel cold or hot, Here are suggested Pressing time
guidelines for different transfer paper.
Ink-Jet Transfer Paper (fabric) 14-18 seconds
Laser Copier/Printer Transfer Paper (fabric) 18-25 seconds
Sublimation Transfers (onto Fabrics) 25-30 seconds
Sublimation Transfers (onto FR-Plastic/Woods) 60-70 seconds
Step 8: Mouse pads, coasters and other thicker materials may also be pressed. Simply adjust the pressure adjust
gear -
clockwise to increase pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease pressure
.
4. Recommendations:
1) Ceramic tile transfer: (Mugs & Plates transfer is similar)
Set temperature: 180
℃
.
Set time: 15 seconds
2) T-shirt transfer:
Set temperature: 180
℃
.
Set time: (chemical fiber use for sublimation transfer paper: 30-50seconds; pure cotton use for T-shirt
transfer paper: 10-20seconds)
NOTE:
1) Please switch off the machine and unplug the power cord when the machine is not in use.
2) The heat platen will cool down to the room temperature, if heat press stays unused for more than 30 minutes.
3) The heat-releasing fan will automatically starts when the temperature of heat platen reaches 80 degree C (176
degree F). It helps to reduce the temperature of electrical parts and prolong the service life of them.
4) For better maintenance of heat press, the maximum setting temperature is 210 degrees C (410 degrees F).
5) To avoid re-heating the first transfer when printing double sided T-Shirts, insert a sheet of cardboard in between
