Heat Press - Pressing Instructions

  • Placement

    Heat-Resistant tape comes in handy, especially for hats and trickier apparel, but it's not essential for shirts since the heat press has a flat surface. There's no need to pre-press the shirt, just pop your transfer onto the apparel. When pressing adult t-shirts, aim for about 3-4 inches down, while for youth shirts, 2-3 inches should do the trick. After pressing a couple, you'll get the hang of it!

  • Press

    We suggest pressing your designs with the following settings: 300°F / 149°C for 10-12 seconds.

  • Peel

    Depending on the transfer film used. Let it cool or peel right away.
    Take a peek to see if the design has transferred nicely. If not, don't worry! Just give it another go with a bit more heat. And hey, you can't really overdo it, so press away until you're happy with the result!

  • Final Press

    Lay the parchment paper on top of your material and give it another press for about 15 seconds. This helps to soften the design and make it extra durable. Go on, give it that little extra love!

How to Wash

For washing, the best bet is to turn your item inside out and use cold water. We suggest hang drying. But if you're in a rush and need the dryer, opt for low heat and still keep it inside out. Each Heat Press has its own pressure, so play around to find what suits yours best. And just a reminder, you can't really go wrong with pressing your transfers, so no need to stress about that! Give your transfers a little extra press to ensure they're super durable!
