Tips / Application
Pre-Production
Please check transfers carefully before heat-applying.
Set Temperature
Set the press to 340°F
Pre-Heat Garment
First, place the garment on platen, heat press for 3-5 seconds, or until there is no more steam, to remove wrinkles and moisture. Ensure there are no obstructions such as buttons, pockets, or seams. If there are, raise only the print area using a Print Perfect Pad.
Position & Press
Place the transfer on the garment.
Close the heat press and heat for 8 seconds.
Peel Hot
Open the press and peel the carrier immediately within 1-2 seconds, with no hesitation.
Note: The recommended time, temperature, and pressure settings are for Stahls' Hotronix® heat press machines. Settings on other heat presses may vary.

No , you can add as many puff ink colors as you’d like.
