Heat Press Instructions

Hover transfer under open heat press for 10 seconds to dry excess moisture.

1. Cover the bottom press platen with protective paper to prevent bleed from image.
2. Place the bandana, imaging side face up, on protective paper and lint roll the entire area that will come into contact by the press. Cover bandana with a piece of protective paper.
3. Prepress the fabric for 5-10 seconds, let cool.
4. Lightly mist transfer with DyeTrans Pro Spray.
5. Place the transfer on the fabric, smooth wrinkles.
6. Cover with protective paper. This paper must cover the entire area of the material that comes into contact with the heat platen.
7. Press with Temp/Time/Pressure settings listed above.

Note:
The dog bandanas need at least a 1.5" bleed to accommodate for dimensional tolerances from piece to piece.

Both products are made of the same fabric as the white basic performance tee, so the instructions and care information are the same.
