A 4 to 7 mm gap between the film and the heat press top plate is recommended, for 3-5 minutes at 140-150ºC. Do not completely close the press.Step 4 – Pre-pressing– Pre-press the fabric prior to transfer of the image by the film for 2 to 5 seconds • Pre-pressing will flatten the fabric and remove excess humidity contained in the fabric • Pre-pressing helps in successful transfer of the image from the film onto the fabricStep 5 – Transfer– The film with the image and the melted powder is placed on the pre-pressed fabric in the heat press– Press/Cure the image to the fabric for 10-20 seconds at 160-180ºCStep 6 – Cold Peel– Allow the film/image attached to the fabric to cool completely– Separate the film from the fabric, leaving the desired image on the fabricStep 7 – Post-pressing– A post-press process is highly recommended for best results and high-performance parameters such as wash and rub fastness– Re-press the image on the fabric for 10-20 seconds at 160-180ºC
