Pressing Instructions and Tips

 

* A HEAT GUN WILL TELL YOU IF YOUR PRESS IS ACCURATE *

Every Heat Press is different, temps and pressure are not always accurate or even so adjusting for your individual press is necessary, we highly recommend a heat gun. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PRESSING ISSUES DUE TO INACCURATE TEMPERATURE OR PRESSURE.


**If you are using a budget heat press, please check your platens with a heat gun to ensure your press is the correct temperature and that it has even heat across the platen. Soft Formula screens require even, heavy pressure. It should be hard to close your press.

You can check your pressure by placing a $1 bill on each corner of your press and close it. Tighten your pressure until you cannot pull the $1 bills out while your press is closed.

We DO NOT ACCEPT Refunds or Exchanges on Screen Prints.
Please make sure you follow the instructions using a heat press with high pressure. Generally, when there are issues with a screen print it is due to not enough pressure and incorrect temperature.


When you apply the screen print to your item make sure you turn inside out to wash DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENER, Hang to Dry. If you are selling your finished product, make sure you share these care instructions.  Wait 24 hours after pressing to wash or stretch.
