Guidelines & Standard Settings

The following information covers some basic guidelines for press-

ing, as well as some generic parameters for basic heat transfer applica-

tions. 

•  When pressing shirts, it is often recommended that the shirts be quickly 

pressed for 2 to 4 seconds before transferring to remove wrinkles and water 

content.

•  When pressing two sides of a garment, pull the garment over the table so 

that the printed side drapes underneath the table. This will avoid reheating 

previously transferred designs on opposite sides of garments. It will also 

avoid any bleed-through of inks on lighter fabrics.

•  Avoid laying collars, cuffs, zippers, and other bulky parts of garments 

on the lower table, as these can adversely affect pressing conditions, and 

reduce the life of the silicone pad.

•  When pressing rigid substrates (plastics, metals, woods, etc.), be sure that 

any protective films or laminates are removed before heating.

•  Always check that the transfer image is face down against the material, to 

avoid sealing the image against the heat platen instead of the substrate. 

Always  follow  the  transfer  media  suppliers  instructions  when 

pressing. The information below is for general reference only, and may 

not be as accurate as the instructions provided by the transfer media & 

imprintable substrate supplier.
