Heat Press Film to Garment and Remove Film STEP 4 Prepress garment or object for 2-5 seconds to flatten wrinkles. Flip film to ensure the printed (matte) side is touching the garment or object to be transferred on. Using a heat press, apply film to the garment or object. Set the temperature between 320° - 356°F for 10 to 20 seconds and use medium pressure (40-50 PSI). 356°F for 15 seconds at 45 PSI is a good starting point. Wait for film to cool before removing it from the garment after pressing for best results. 1. 2. 3. IMPORTANT: If the heat is below 320°F when pressing the film to the material, then the ink will not fully transfer to the object. You can repress the film and object at the correct temperature and the ink will separate from the film cleanly. SPECIAL MATERIAL: For printing on a hoodie, you cannot place the print transfer over a zipper unless you take the time to cut the zipper area free.
STEP 5
Repress the Garment To remove visible powder residue on the shirt, ensure non-stick covers are installed on your heat press and repress the garment after peeling off the transfer. With the film transfer sheet removed, repress the garment at 320°-356°F for 10-20 seconds at medium pressure (40-50 PSI). Also, on materials with medium to deep ridges (i.e. Blue jean, canvas bags, mouse pads, pocket seams) a better bond is created and contours to the fabric ridges if the print is pressed a second time without the film transfer paper covering it.
