Important pressing information

These settings are intended as a guide. Temperatures, pressure and pressing times can vary between heat presses and garment materials. We recommend completing a test press where possible.

Removing moisture

During transport, the transfer sheets may occasionally collect moisture.

If you notice any moisture, place the transfer beneath your heat press with the upper platen hovering above it for approximately 60 seconds. Do not allow the heated platen to touch the transfer during this process.
