TROUBLE-SHOOTING TIPS: CONT’D
Q. Why are my transfers are sticking to the heating element of the upper platen?
A. If T-shirt vinyl is sticking to the heating element, you have it upside down. Remove
any adhesive residue, flip it over and try again. If an inkjet or laser transfer is
sticking to the heating element, it’s because the heat is affecting the ink. Cover it
with a Teflon sheet or sheet of silicone Kraft paper to prevent this. Using a Teflon
sheet or Kraft paper is recommended for almost all heat transfer applications.
Q. Why is it so hard to peel the liner when I’m done pressing the paper?
A. A hot or warm peel film may become hard to peel if allowed to cool. Always peel
the film or transfer paper in accordance with the product’s recommendations.
