Process

  • Send us your artwork

  • We print and prepare your transfers.

  • We ship them to you.

  • You heat press when ready.

Our printing process uses a high-quality, tabloid-size laser printer that uses cyan, magenta, yellow and white ink.

Equipment and Supplies

Heat Press

We recommend name brand heat presses like Hotronix and George Knight, but as long as your heat press has good pressure and maintains a consistent temperature across the platen, you should be good to go!

Parchment Paper

Parchment paper is used to protect your heat press and for proper finishing of the transfer.

We can provide parchment paper if needed.

File Formats

We recommend using well-known vector and photo editing software to create artwork for heat transfers. See Art Requirements for details.

Textile Selection

For garments, always select a less stretchy fabric (no spandex or lycra) to prevent cracking when pulling/stretching the fabric.

Preparation

Set heat press to application temperature based on the substrate (see Substrate Temperature and Time Guide below). Arrange substrate on heat press and pre-press for 3-5 seconds to warm and release wrinkles.

Heat Press

Place the textile or other substrate on the lower platen of the heat press. Lay the heat transfer on substrate (design touching substrate), cover with parchment paper, and press according to the Substrate Temperature & Time Guide below.

Allow to Cool

Lay the garment or other substrate on a flat surface and let the transfer COOL COMPLETELY. A cold pack may be used to speed this process if necessary.

Remove Clear Carrier

Remove clear carrier only once the transfer and garment are COMPLETELY COLD. Start peeling from one corner in a steady motion, rolling your hand over the carrier as you go. To ensure a matte finish and washability, it is important that you repress with a sheet of parchment paper. See Transfer Finishing Instructions Below.

Transfer Finishing Instructions

To ensure a matte finish and washability, it is important to repress applied transfer covered with a sheet of parchment paper. 

Cotton: 365° for 30 seconds, high pressure

Polyester (blends): 285° for 10 seconds, high pressure

*After removing parchment, on finish press give fabric a slight pull in either direction while warm to prevent cracking from larger/solid designs

Transfer Finishing Instructions

For NON-Washable Substrates

For a matte finish, repress applied transfer covered with a sheet of parchment paper for 5 to 20 seconds at application temperature. 

*do not finish metal substrates*
