Thumbs up heat pressing with iron on paper

Just thought I would let Y'all know. I appreciate the replies you sent to my earlier question about how I would convert the iron on instructions for Avery transfer paper to using a heat press. I chose a middle ground, between the advice I recieved here and the instructions sent by an Avery customer service rep, for my first trial print and it came out good. I used 375 degrees for 12-13 seconds with medium/hard pressure. I've "hard washed" it twice now and it still looks great.

Thanx again,
Rick

Default Re: heat pressing with iron on paper

That's pretty much standard for most transfer papers, and a little variation doesnt usually make a big difference. I'll re-state my recommendation to get some better transfer paper if you're going to be doing a lot of heat pressing, though =)
