Pressing instructions

Single Color & Full Color Screen Prints

Pre-press garment to remove moisture.
Do not cover with anything (Teflon nor parchment paper).
Temperature: 325-350 degrees Fahrenheit
Pressure: heavy (this is the most important part, if it’s not sticking, you need more pressure!)
Time: 10-20 seconds/7 seconds for puff transfers
Peel: Always peel HOT.
For full color: Firmly rub print with a cloth right after press, just before peeling. Especially in the area you are going to start the peel from, and any delicate parts of the design.
If you need to repress, we recommend protecting the print with parchment paper.

Screen print transfers can be used on any color garment. 100% cotton, and poly/cotton blends recommended.

A commercial heat press is required for screen print transfers. We do not recommend the Cricut easy press nor the HTVront, they do not produce enough pressure for transfers to adhere properly. You need to be able to adjust the pressure, the transfers need VERY high pressure.
If the paper is resisting and not peeling off smoothly and easily, do NOT keep pulling the paper off. You can rip the ink doing that. Stop peeling and lay it back down, adjust heat and/or pressure, and repress.
Heat presses can run hotter or colder than their set point and can lose heat in between pressing shirts from the constant opening and closing. An infrared thermometer is recommended to make sure your press is running at the right temperature.
If the paper is not releasing properly, use a cloth and rub over the paper firmly, and try peeling again before the print completely cools! You can then cover the print with parchment paper for a second press to seal the print.
Seams of the garment on the press can affect pressure, try to get all seams of the press; a pillow press might help.
No Teflon sheets. If repress is necessary, cover design with parchment paper.
