Washability:

• Up to 40°C (Cold Wash Cycle).

Iron Settings:

• Cover the design with Baking or Silicone Paper before Ironing.

• If, in spite of everything, the background is still transferred in certain areas, you can use a fresh sheet of paper, in a further pressing operation!
• If the toner can not be completely transferred, increasing the pressure or the transfer time will prevent this.
• If a background is transferred, reducing the transfer time or the pressure, will prevent this!
• The waiting period is very important – please do not separate the media too early or too late!
• Place the fabric completely flat on the work surface. Please ensure that no buttons, seams or collars are on the work surface. If this is not possible, you should put the shirt over the lower plate, so that only the transferrable side is affected by the heat and pressure from the press.
• Image Gradients & Transparency’s should not be less than 70%. Light transparency‘s within designs are unpredictable when transferred to textiles!
• Cover the design with Baking or Silicone Paper before Ironing.
