When heat pressing felt is used to raise or level out an uneven product, it helps to ensure that the heat and pressure are evenly distributed across the entire surface of the product. This is crucial for achieving a uniform transfer of designs, especially on items with irregular shapes or surfaces.
Why Use Felt for Heat Pressing:
Even Pressure Distribution: The felt acts as a cushion, filling in the gaps and creating a level surface. This ensures that the entire design receives equal pressure and heat, preventing uneven transfers or patches.
Protective Layer: Felt can also serve as a protective barrier between the heat press and the product, reducing the risk of scorching or damaging the material.
Enhanced Durability: By using felt, you can extend the life of your heat press machine’s upper platen. The felt absorbs some of the pressure and heat, reducing wear and tear on the platen itself.
Adaptability: Felt can conform to the shape of various items, making it ideal for pressing items that are not perfectly flat, like hats, bags, or items with seams and zippers.
How to Use Felt in Heat Pressing:
Place the Felt: Position the felt on the heat press platen.
Position the Product: Place the uneven product on top of the felt.
Add the Design: Position the heat transfer design on the product as usual.
Press: Follow the standard heat pressing procedure, ensuring the felt helps distribute the heat and pressure evenly.
By using felt in this way, you can achieve professional, high-quality results even on challenging products.
