Heat Press Instructions

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

You will also need 2 pieces of cardboard or aluminum (serving as lanyard backing material) cut to the size of the bottom heat press platen.

1. Place a sheet of protective paper.
2. Pre-Press the lanyard for 10 seconds, take off the press to cool.
3. Lightly mist the transfer with Pro Spray
4. Place a protective sheet of paper on a sheet of lanyard backer.
5. Place the transfer, imaging side face-up, onto protective sheet.
6. Align the lanyard, imaging side facedown, over the transfer and adhere. Note: if you are printing solid backgrounds, then an aggressive image bleed will be required as the lanyard expands when it is being pressed.
7. Place a protective sheet of paper over the lanyard then cover with a sheet of backing material sandwiching the transfer and lanyard material in between the 2 lanyard backers.
8. Holding the 2 sheets of backing material together, flip them so the transfer is now facedown onto the face-up imaging area of the lanyard.
9. Remove the top lanyard backer, place the bottom backer layer (with the transfer and lanyard material on top) onto the rubber heat press platen.
10. Gently remove the bottom backer and press.
