Important note: You should perform your own tests with the respective transfer materials
and carrier media prior to each production. The aforementioned values, as well as any
manufacturer specification merely serve as indications. Washing resistance and behavior
during the transfer must be determined by performing your own tests.
No guarantee can be derived from the recommended values. It is always the user's
responsibility to determine and apply the correct settings for his specific conditions.
Note on garment finishing processes: After the press operation, garments must cool off
before any carrier media can be pulled off the transfer material. The hot glue in the transfer
material doesn't develop its adhesive strength until cooled off. If the glue does not stick in
its cold state, this may indicate that the pressing procedure was too cold or too short.
