Transfer Tips

The following tips should help you create better transfers for either a heat press or an iron.  If you have any other suggestions that you think would be helpful please let us know.

Mouse pads and t-shirts will last longer and stay nicer if you iron on a blank piece of paper for about 15 seconds after you have ironed on the transfer. This seals in the colors.

Try not to bend a mouse pad right after you transfer on to it. This will cause the transfer to bend and possibly crack.

Trim the excess off of mouse pads with an “exacto knife” or a pair of nail scissors (something small and very sharp).

Do not try and print the image in 1440 DPI.  720 or 600 DPI or similar is fine. Too much ink will bleed when you press it on.

Cut the excess transfer paper (the part of the paper where there is no image) off BEFORE you iron on the image.

Have the heat press as hot as possible.

The faster the image is put on the better. Hotter = Faster.

Peel away the transfer immediately.

Always start peeling at a corner.

For a shiny finish put the transfer paper you just transferred off of back on the image for 10-15 seconds.

Always wash the t-shirts before you transfer and try to use cotton/polyester fill shirts; 50/50 blend work better and won't shrink terribly.

Make sure you DO NOT wash any of your freshly ironed on items until 48 hours after the item has been ironed on. The dye needs to set.

Do not leave any items in a washing machine longer then necessary. Don’t put a load of cloths in the wash and go to the store. The inks/dyes will bleed together even if they were washed in cold water. This is because items left wrapped around the agitator will bend and crease the designs if they are left sitting there too long.

Always use colorfast detergents or try to find mild detergents.   Use cold water and do not over dry. This is because by over drying  you will cause them to crack and loose their longevity.

For care instructions you might want to have a little print out to give to your customers when they purchase t-shirts or any other ironed on item from you. This will hopefully avoid the customer from making some very common mistakes, it will keep them happy and possibly encourage reorders.
