APPLY YOUR TRANSFER
From Placement to Final Press
1. Check Your Materials
Identify your garment material and review the recommended starting settings above. Check the transfer instructions before proceeding.
2. Position Your Design
Lay the garment flat and position the transfer where you want the design. Check its alignment before pressing.
3. Press the Transfer
Apply the recommended temperature, time, and pressure for your material. Follow your heat-press manufacturer’s operating instructions.
4. Peel as Directed
Use the peel method specified for your transfer. “Hot peel” and “cold peel” describe different removal timings—do not assume they are interchangeable.
5. Complete the Second Press
BSB’s existing guidance recommends a second press for 5 seconds. Confirm the temperature, pressure, and any required protective covering with BSB before performing this step.
