If you are using a flat press/t-shirt press This is for full wrap-around prints or small logos -no heat shrink bag needed
1. Follow steps 1-3 in the above instructions. You can do full wrap-around prints in the flat/t- shirt press.
2. Set the press to 200°C and 150 seconds.
3. Make sure the pressure is very light and just softly closing on top of the pen, otherwise the pen will bend and lose its shape.
4. Press for 150 seconds on the one side and when the time is up, turn the pen around and press for 150 seconds. So 150 seconds per each side until done pressing all over.
5. Remove the print and tape after you press it. I found it easier to remove the tape and print while the pen was still hot.
If you are using a pen press This is only for small logos or names, not a full wrap-around print
1. You can do small logos or names without a shrink bag in the Pen Press.
2. Press on 200°C and you can press it anytime between 360 - 420 seconds.
3. Make sure the print/logo is not longer than 3.5cm - 4cm maximum and the width at 1.1cm at most. It might fade the areas that are exceeding this size. To be safe 3.5 x 1cm logos.
4. Secure the print completely with heat tape to the pen.
5. The pressure is very important, it needs to be furn pressure. Here is a photo of how my pressure knob is set:
