Step 3: You Transfer

Heat press your designs onto garments or accessories at home or in your studio.

Ready to get started?

Transferring prints couldn't be simpler - you can use a home iron or basic heat press.

  1. Select your blank - most cotton, polyester, and blends work great.
  2. For best results, use a heat press at 150-160°C for 15 seconds with firm pressure.
  3. Peel the film off straight away.
  4. Cover with a cloth and re-press for a further 15 seconds at the same temperature.
  5. Wait 24 hours before the first wash.

Settings vary by blank/press - do a quick test press first (you can use our sample pack for this!).
