Transfer Application & Pressing Instructions
Hello! As of October 2022 we have switched to a newer formula for our full color screen print transfers. This formula is a lower heat application that produces vivid colors and offers an easy press while keeping that soft and flexible feel we all love! Our older high heat formula is still a great press and produces the same soft feel but we decided to switch to a lower heat application to make it easier to press single colors and full colors together! Your order may contain our older high heat screens and newer low heat screens so please check the titles of the products you ordered on your packing slip or on our website to make sure you are using the right application for the screens you ordered! Instructions are below for the different transfers we offer!
>>Single Color Screen Print Transfers
No Teflon Sheets, Covers or Pillows. For best results please make sure to check heat press temperature for accuracy with a heat gun.
Apply at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 7-10 seconds at high pressure.
Peel transfer slowly by corner to ensure adherence. Shirt fibers should be visible through design with proper application.
>> New *Low Heat* Full Color Screen Print Transfers
No Teflon Sheets, Covers or Pillows. For best results please make sure to check heat press temperature for accuracy with a heat gun.
LOW Heat Application - Press at 300-325 degrees for 7-10 seconds with heavy pressure.
*Material Note:
300˚F recommended for 100% Polyester materials
325˚F recommended for 100% Cotton, Cotton/Poly Blend materials
**Application Note: Always peel slowly from one corner. If transfer is not adhering double check your pressure and lay the paper back down, bump up the temperature 5-10 degrees and press again. If screen print color looks faded or “blown out” temperature is too high. Shirt fibers should be visible through design with proper application. Some presses will have a sweet spot that will be much different than standard recommendations. You may need to play around a little to find your sweet spot so ordering an extra full color to cut up and use as a tester is recommended to avoid ruining a shirt or wasting a transfer.
