One thing you should not forget is that your products must be in perfect condition. However, achieving this will be hard if you are not conversant with the heat and temperature workings of your heat press machine.
It is also a serious problem if you don’t know how and when to transfer your design onto the material.
For the actual heat transfer to be effective, you will have to set the temperature correctly, ascertain the amount of pressure to apply and identify the temperature range that is needed for each material you want to heat press.
Finally, you should know if you will peel out when the machine is still hot or cold.
To decide on all these factors can be a little overwhelming especially when you want to produce a perfect result. This is why we have provided you with a quick guide in this article to enable you to transfer your designs correctly and without stress.
To set the accurate Temperature and Heat of your machine, the material you are using is important.
1. If the material you are using is the Multi-Purpose type, Temperature setting can be at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, while the appropriate Time should be at 10- 12 seconds
The multi-purpose material is a bestseller and can be used for many design purposes. Therefore if you follow the above procedure when printing on a multi-purpose material, be sure of an efficient result.
2. While making use of the Sublimated {Polyester} material, remember that polyester materials do not like high temperatures. Therefore it is better to follow these measures:
The Temperature setting should be at 270 degrees Fahrenheit
You should Time your heat press at 10 seconds
And you can only peel when it is hot
