When I transfer, my colors look faded.
You need to increase the amount of time you’re pressing and/or increase the heat by
20 degrees.
My Heat Press won’t heat up.
Heat presses use a lot of energy while they are heating up. It’s possible that the
energy drain has tripped the internal breaker in the press. Use the reset button on the
side of heat press to reset it. If that doesn’t work, take a moment to plug something else
into the wall outlet you’re using for the press. It might be that you’ve tripped a circuit
breaker.
Troubleshooting:
When I pressed my HTV, the material would not stick to the garment and/or
fell o ffduring washing. How do I fix this?
First double check manufacturer instructions – especially on heat and pressure
settings. If you are following them to the letter, increase your pressure. Remember:
Pressing isn’t just about heating the vinyl – it’s about pushing the vinyl into the materials
so that the adhesive finds a grip. Increasing the pressure is often the solution.
You might also need to increase your temperature a bit, but try this after you’ve
increased the pressure, and don’t up the temperature by more than about 5% over
manufacturer instructions.
When I peeled the carrier sheet from my HTV, the color vinyl came up o ffthe
garment but the adhesive below it stayed in place. What happened?
You are most likely peeling the material too hot. HTV’s like metallic,printed/fashion,
and many others are usually recommended for cold peel.
If that’s not it, double check the garment you are pressing and make sure it’s
appropriate for the HTV you are using. If the material has a coating of any kind, you might
need to use a special HTV specifically designed for sticking to coated materials. A
common example of this is someone trying to heat press HTV onto a water resistant fabric..
My Transfer paper is sticking to the heated platen. How do I fix this?
We really recommend the use of Teflon paper for most transfer pressings.
