Using a heat press machine appropriately will help you get a good result in sublimation printing a t-shirt. There are many tips we can use to get a better performance. I’d like to share them with you.
1. When heat pressing on a t-shirt, the collar is crucial. If you want to have a beautiful collars, remember the collar should be hanging off the lower platen of the heat press. This action can make sure the pressure and heat are even in the whole process.
2.Don’t forget to pre-press the shirt. It can let the garment without wrinkles and moisture, and allows the transfer to adhere to the garment better.
3.Put the transfer paper in the right place. We usually suggest our customers that the transfer placement should be 3 to 4 fingers below the neckline, depending on the shirt style and transfer.
4.The heat press machine should have different settings for different materials. Remember to adjust your settings if you prepare to heat press different materials.
5.Remember to use a cover sheet. Try to use a cover sheet to keep clean of the platen when you don’t use it.It will save a lot of time of cleaning.
Try to follow these tips, and you will find they are effective.
