Printing Questions
What do I need to get started?
- Heat press machine large enough for your design (check Youtube for budget to premium press reviews)
- Graphic files in the correct formats (300 dpi)
- Most importantly, a SUPERSTAR mentality!
What heat press should I get?
To be honest, if you’re just getting started – any heat press will do as long as it can reach 300°F/160°C and provide even pressure.
Pro Tip: Use a heat gun to measure and also do a pressure test by pressing a piece at end edge. Then try pulling on the paper to see how easily it comes off. You shouldn’t be able to pull it out with a good press machine.
Are your transfers eco-friendly?
Our transfer manufacturing process is at the top of the eco-friendliness list compared to the other types of printing methods. Transfers are made of water based ink onto a recyclable PET film.
PET film can be recycled along with your plastic bottles. Unlike screen printing, there are no screens with ink to wash with chemicals or water.
How long can transfers be stored?
Store transfers in a zip lock bag for 4-6 months. Air-tight transfers can be stored for longer.
Can I press the transfers onto 100% cotton material?
100% Cotton?
- Yes. 320°F for 10-15secs.
- For a matte finish, press again with kraft paper and medium pressure for 10secs
- However, it is always a best practice to test the print on your material first before beginning production for a client. Experiment and adjust temperature, pressure and time for a perfect print.
