    Additional Tips

    Pressing times and temperatures may vary depending on your heat press.

     

    Heat Press Recommendations

    For best results, we recommend using a commercial clamshell or adjustable-pressure heat press.

    HTVRONT-style automatic heat presses and household irons are not recommended, as they may not provide the consistent pressure needed for proper transfer adhesion.

    For thicker fabrics, such as denim or canvas:

    • Additional pressing time may be required.

    • Allow the transfer to cool before peeling instead of using an instant hot peel.
