TRANSFERRING THE IMAGE USING A COMMERCIAL HEAT PRESS

2.Place garment on the heat press. Cover with ChromaBlast paper with image face down.

3.Press image according to proper pressure, heat, and time settings.

4.Peel the paper off the shirt while the shirt is still hot using an even motion.

HEAT PRESS SETTINGS

•Pressure: Heavy. If using a pneumatic press, set the pressure to 60 psi.

•Temperature and Time: 350°F (176°C) for 45-60 seconds

Due to variations in cotton garments and in heat presses, time and temperature can be adjusted for preferred performance up to 400°F for 25 seconds. Some scorching may occur, but will wash out.
