Heat Press Machine: Control of Time and Temperature

Heat Press Machine: Control of Time and Temperature

A heat press machine is used to transfer designs to many different which utilizes three basic principles print our graphics on textile. These principles are time, pressure, and temperature. We need to set these aspects to the recommend accurate values before we start printing on our fabric. Make a slight mistake in the settings, and we will end up with an improperly printed textile, or a crooked printing.

Generally, our heat transfer machine comes with directions of use. These guidelines incorporate a chart that gives us full details about the correct time, pressure, and temperature values to use for different fabrics. Additionally, we’ve broken down the suitable temperature and time settings based on various factors:

Material Temperature/ Degree Time/ Minute
Polyester 270 10
Multi-Purpose fabrics 350 10-12
Cotton and denim 380 15
Stretch fabric 335 12-24
High quality graphic 305 5
T-shirts / Sweaters 365-370 10-12
Full color graphic 350 10-12
Vintage / Faded look 350 10
Reflective 305 10
Glow in the Dark transfer 350 10-20
Glitter / textured designs 350 15
Metallic look 320 10
Difficult fabrics 330 15

sublimation printing ( Note: Due to the versatility of a heat press machine, and the multiple uses it has, we may find that the item you want to print comes in two different categories. For example, we may want to use a glitter design on a t-shirt. In cases like this, try the lower temperature first, as using too much heat can damage the overall design.)

The list contains the ideal temperature and timer settings we should use for almost all the fabrics you might encounter when doing heat transfer. If we couple the above information with your device user manual, we will have all the information we need to operate our machine using the correct temperatures.
