Fixing Conditions (Heat Press)
The conditions under which you must fix the ink with a heat press differ between White ink and color ink.
Make sure that you meet these conditions for fixing the ink.
Optimum conditions vary depending on the type of heat press. Test and check the results in advance to
determine the correct pressure.

Fixing Conditions (Heat Tunnel)
Optimum conditions vary depending on the heat tunnel. Test and check the results in advance to
determine the correct temperature and duration.
Note: The temperature in the tables here refer to the temperature of the fixing surface of the T-shirt, not
the internal temperature of the heat tunnel. If the surface of the T-shirt exceeds 356 °F (180 °C), the T-
shirt and the print surface may change color.
