What are the pressing instructions for cotton?
Press at 315°F for 12–15 seconds, cold peel, then final press for 12–15 seconds with parchment.
How do I press onto 100% polyester?
Press at 285–290°F for 10–12 seconds, cold peel, and re-press for 10 seconds using light pressure.
Do I need a special heat press?
No, any reliable clamshell or swing-away press works. Irons are not recommended.
Can I use a Teflon sheet?
Use parchment paper for the final press. Teflon can reduce heat transfer and affect results.
Why is my transfer lifting or cracking?
It’s usually caused by too little pressure, wrong temp, or peeling too soon. Double-check the steps or contact us for help.
