Heat Press Method Instructions

Note: The sparkle metal will never be able to reproduce full color photos and graphics. Use solid color or contrasting color line drawings or logos only for best results.

1. Print the transfer, cover heat press platen with protective paper.

2. Tape the image to the metal, flip over to place on paper on platen.

3. Cover with a sheet of protective paper.

4. Press with Temp/Time/Pressure settings listed above.

Add two seconds for each extra barrette when pressing multiples.

If you should see small watermarks after imaging, try using less pressure. Another method is to press it before removing the peel coat, the image will transfer through the plastic without the watermarks.

OUR INSTRUCTIONS ARE BASED ON USING A DK20S, DK3110 AND/OR A COUNTER TOP CONVECTION OVEN. TIMES AND TEMPERATURES WILL VARY DEPENDING ON WHICH EQUIPMENT YOU USE.
