Heat Press Instructions
For best sublimation results, follow the steps below:
- Preheat your heat press to 180°C.
- Lint roll the stocking thoroughly to remove any fluff, dust or loose fibres that may affect the finished print.
- Place silicone paper inside the stocking to help prevent the design from transferring through to the opposite side. Place another sheet of silicone paper over the stocking, then briefly pre-press to release any moisture from the fabric.
- Position and align your design carefully. Take note of any raised seams or edges, as these may cause uneven pressure and affect the transfer.
- Once positioned correctly, secure the transfer with heat-resistant tape to prevent movement during pressing.
- Cover the area with a clean sheet of silicone paper.
- Press at 180°C for 80 seconds.
- Once pressing is complete, carefully lift the press. The stocking and transfer paper will be very hot, so handle with care.
- Remove the heat tape and transfer paper, then reveal your personalised masterpiece!
Tip: Make sure the printable area lies as flat as possible on the heat press so raised seams do not interfere with even pressure.
