Default 2 side pressing, which side first?

I have an order coming up where i need to press plastisol on pocket and full image on back. What would be the best process? I'm thinking I should put a pad in the pocket to give an level pressing field, but I don't know whether to do front or back first. Thanks for your help.

Default Re: 2 side pressing, which side first?

I try to do the smaller transfer first. Seems to be less chance of anything going wrong. Sometimes the 1st one is not even in the press when pressing the other.

I would try it without the pad first, if you have to then go with it. I only use them when I have to.

I agree with Bob, I would do the front first.I think if you need to adjust the garment you will have less chance of messing up the other design. ... JB
