Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Ok, this is going to sound like a really really stupid question and I have just posted a similar question to this.
Is a TEFLON a rubber type or silicone material that can resist high temperatures. If so, can i use this to press my prints onto white t-shirts so that it wont burn my shirts as in leaving a yellow/brown square (just like when you leave an iron on a shirt for too long) and can I also use it to pre-press, press and re-press?
Also, would grease proof/baking paper do the same job?
I only ask this beacusei dont know if my press is hotter than it says it is or if i am doing anything wrong or missing something when I press.
A teflon sheet is a fiber glass cloth coated in teflon, you also can use parchment paper or craft paper, it helps some what to protect not only the shirt but also your upper platen,
As far as I know Dupont does not make the teflon sheet, however they do make the teflon that its coated with, as far as the one goes on ebay I have no idea, most you see in the US is cheap China cloth so I am assuming that is the case here and there seems to be nothing wrong with that material.
