| Using a Heat Press Machine
(application time is about 4 - 7 seconds for any size image)
Hot Peel Instructions: (These transfers must be peeled
hot. Do not wait !!!)
1. For shirts, tote bags, etc, cut out the
unprinted area of the transfer to achieve best results. Leave approximately
a 1/8" border from the image. The transfer edge will disappear after the
first wash.
2. For mouse pads no cutting is needed. The
image should be 1/8" larger than the pad on all sides. After pressing just
lift the paper, it leaves a clean edge.
3. Set the temperature on the press at 370-380
degrees F. Press for 4-7 seconds using moderate pressure. The press
must snap closed firmly!
4. Quickly peel the transfer starting at the corner. Do
not wait , peel immediately! USE CAUTION, PAPER WILL BE HOT!
Using a Home Iron (Application time is about 60 to
70 seconds for an 8 X 10" image)
Important: Use a dry iron (remove water). Place mouse pad/shirt,
etc. on an ironing board or if using a table top make sure you put a towel
down to protect the table. Place tin foil under the item to be pressed. This
will help trap the heat because some home irons do not get hot
enough.

fabric item you are working with.

the image.
4d. Re-iron the transfer VERY SLOWLY using medium to high pressure.
Continue ironing until you have completely traced all sides of the transfer.
5. Follow-up by ironing the whole image quickly, heating
all of the transfer paper again for approximately 10 - 13 seconds.
6. Quickly peel the transfer starting at the
corner immediately after the ironing process. USE CAUTION, PAPER
WILL BE HOT!
