7Guidelines & Standard SettingsThe following information covers some basic guidelines forpressing, as well as some generic parameters for basic heat transferapplications.• When pressing shirts, it is often recommended that the shirts be quicklypressed for 2 seconds before transferring to remove wrinkles and watercontent.• When pressing two sides of a garment, pull the garment over the tableso that the printed side drapes underneath the table. This will avoidreheating previously transferred designs on opposite sides of garments.It will also avoid any bleed-through of inks on lighter fabrics.• Avoid laying collars, cuffs, zippers, and other bulky parts of garmentson the lower table, as these can adversely affect pressing conditions,and reduce the life of the silicone pad.• When pressing rigid substrates (plastics, metals, woods, etc.), be surethat any protective films or laminates are removed before heating.• Always check that the transfer image is face down against the material,to avoid sealing the image against the heat platen instead of thesubstrate.Always follow the transfer media suppliers instructions whenpressing.
