Start from the transfer instructions
Use the transfer maker’s temperature, time, pressure and peel instructions for that transfer. Test on a spare garment of the same colour and blend. A press display and the platen surface can read differently.
Keep the pressing surface level
Position seams, zips and pockets off the platen where possible. Try a suitable smaller platen or pressing pad if an obstruction prevents even pressure. Check whether dark or brushed fabric develops shine, compression marks or a visible press outline.
Check edges before releasing the run
After peeling as instructed, look closely at thin strokes and outer edges. Carry out any specified finishing press, then let the sample cool and follow the transfer supplier’s wash guidance.
