NOTE - For information about how to use the heat press device, see the heat press manual.
In order to fix the ink so that your images can be color-fast when washing, it is necessary to heat
treat the image so that the image bonds with the garment.
Place the garment in your heat press machine image side up set to the correct
settings found below.

Re-open the heat press and cover the image with heat press paper.
Instead of heat press paper, a Teflon sheet or a Kraft Paper Cover Sheet can be used. If you
use a Teflon pad, it may leave a semi-glossy look on the prints.
Close the heat press and let the ink fix for the prescribed time.
When the time is completed, open the heat press, and then remove the heat
press paper.
Your printed garment is complete.
NOTE - If you are using a textile oven or conveyor dryer, make sure to test the temperature of the
printed image when it exits the dryer to ensure that it has reached the following
temperature. Also, make sure to do a wash test of your first attempts to be sure that the
inks have cured properly, and that washing capability is attained.
