Heat Press Instructions

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

1. Cover the bottom table of the press with a sheet of protective paper.
2. Secure transfer to substrate using Heat Tape.
3. Place substrate face up, with attached transfer face down, on top of protective paper on bottom table.
4. Cover it all with a piece of Poly Poplin Fabric (PP7813) and press according to time, temperature, and pressure above.
5. Allow the substrate to cool. Handling the panel while hot increases the chances of damaging the coating on the edges.

**Application notes: remove protective film prior to imaging. It is also a good practice to wipe the metal to remove any debris.
