Creative tips
You've tried following the instructions on every product page you can find online, or even in your imagination, but you still can't get a nice t-shirt like this one?
Don't panic, we'll reveal all our secrets!
Tip Number 1
Before pressing, you must ensure that your t-shirt is smooth and free of creases. To do this, press your t-shirt for a few seconds without too much pressure, and without the heat transfer vinyl of course, to flatten your t-shirt in the heat press (which must be hot, an important detail).
Tip Number 2
To properly center your cut-out design, position your hand perpendicular to the t-shirt when facing the press, as shown in the diagram below. This will give you a perfectly centered image for a professional result.
Tip Number 3
Use a Teflon sheet to protect your fabric. Elementary, my dear Watson, but essential!
Tip Number 4
For all cold peel applications, once your heat transfer vinyl is applied to your t-shirt, position your t-shirt on a cold heat press (if you have a second press in your workshop, of course). The press's cold plates allow you to cool your t-shirt very quickly. Press for a few seconds and peel! Time savings and guaranteed efficiency
If, despite all these tips, you still feel like banging your head against the wall, or even throwing the heat press out the window, call us, we will always find a solution to the problem you are facing!
