Pressing Instructions

Our pressing instructions require the use of a commercial heat press. 

A Cricut Easy Press or a household iron or HTV Ront will not work.
Don't try it ya'll! It may end badly! 
Screen Print Transfers- Single Color (Low Heat Formula)
  • Heat press to 340-365 degrees, depending on your press.
  • We recommend starting with a lower temp and going to a higher temp if needed. Some presses run hot, some have cold spots. We recommend testing your press in multiple areas with a heat gun and practicing with extra transfers to find your "sweet spot."
  • Pre-press the shirt or material for a few seconds before adding the transfer to remove moisture.
  • Lay the transfer down flat with the ink facing the material. 
  • Press with extremely heavy pressure for 7-10 seconds.
  • Peel the transfer paper immediately while the shirt is hot.
  • If the transfer does not stick, put the transfer paper back down, and press for a few more seconds. Transfers not sticking are usually due to uneven heating across the press, not enough pressure, and/or not pressed long enough

Screen Print Transfers- Full Color (High Heat Formula)

  • Heat press to 365-380 degrees, depending on your press.
  • We recommend starting with a lower temp and going to a higher temp if needed. Some presses run hot, some have cold spots. We recommend testing your press in multiple areas with a heat gun and practicing with extra transfers to find your "sweet spot."
