Heat Press Method Instructions
1. Cover the bottom press platen with a protective paper sheet to prevent bleed from image.
2. Place the headband, imaging side face up, on the protective paper and lint roll the entire area that will come into contact by the press.
3. Place a piece of protective paper (no wrinkles!) between the layers of the fabric to prevent the image bleeding through to the other side. You also can use Vapor foam for this purpose.
4. Prepress the fabric, let cool.
5. Lightly mist transfer with Adhesive Spray.
6. Place the transfer on the fabric, smooth wrinkles.
7. Cover with protective paper. This paper must cover the entire area of the material that comes into contact with the heat platen.
8. Press with Temp/Time/Pressure settings listed above.
9. Let cool and flip it over and imprint the other side using the same directions as above.
NOTE: ALL sewn items (shirts, flags, tote bags, huggers, etc.) vary in size and shape to a small degree and may not have perfect 90° corners and may not have perfectly straight edges. Please allow for a +/- 1” tolerance.
