Heat Press Method Instructions
You have two choices:
1. Imprint one side, flip, then the other, this may result in blurring of the first side.
2. Make an image "sandwich" and imprint both sides at once, this is preferable.
Note, use a Sharpie to fill in an stray white areas on the edges.
1. Lint roll all imaging areas of the hugger.
2. Cover the bottom heat press platen with a protective piece of paper.
3. Place the hugger, imaging side face-up, onto the protective sheet of paper.
4. Cover the hugger with a protective sheet of paper and pre-press for 10 seconds.
5. Open the press and lint roll the hugger warm.
6. Remove the hugger from the press and allow to cool.
7. Lightly mist the image transfer with Adhesive Spray.
Note: the image transfer should have a generous bleed area to accommodate the hugger’s expansion during pressing.
8. Place the hugger, imaging side face-up, onto the protective paper.
9. Apply the image facedown onto the face-up hugger.
10. Cover with protective paper and press.
Note: If using a wide format press, try to imprint as many at once as you can, if you only do a few, they may become too flat.
