We are new to the heat pressing industry and are having some trouble with knowing what fabrics to heat press and at what temperature... Does anyone know where we can find this information? Thanks in advance and have a great day!!

Whatever product you use, heat transfer paper (inkjet or laser), dye sub, plastisol, or whatever else, the product will generally come with instructions. Sometimes the instructions need to be tweaked a little. When you are on the website buying the product, it will list what fabrics and other substrates it will work on.

It all depends on what heat press process you are using. But generally, the product description will tell you what fabric you can heat press the product onto, and include general instructions.

Once you choose a product, you can always look here and search that product for tips on transfer times. Good luck to you.

I would have said something similar. Start by looking at your transfer/print product. It will give you time, temp and suggested fabric. Pair that up with a product of the same fabric type and double check the care guides.
Make sure you buy your garments from a wholesaler who caters to the imprinting industry so you do not have shrinkage issues. They will also be better able to answer decorating questions.
