Pressing Instructions

These are the general pressing guidelines we follow here in the shop:

  • Preheat 3-5 seconds to remove moisture
  • Press with teflon sheet at medium pressure (50-60psi) for 10 seconds
  • Peel and press 3-5 seconds using brown craft paper

Pressing temperatures vary according to the type of garment:

  • 100% Poly: 265-270 degrees
  • Blends, fleece: 275-280 degrees
  • 100% cotton: 285-290 degrees

Happy pressing! Don't hesitate to call if you have any questions or experience any issues.



Storage & Care

We recommend that you store unused transfers in a sealed, airtight bag with desicant packs. An ideal storage environment will be around 50-65 degrees under 60% humidity if possible. After a few days or weeks, you may notice residual amounts of oil seeping onto the carrier sheet, looking almost like water stains, these will not transfer to your garment.
