Re: Heat Pressing Letters? Time/Temp? got them from joAnn's, it just says iron with pressure for 25-45 seconds, so i'm figuring low temp(and since i'm not use to the heat press, i'm not sure exactly what is considered low temp) and maybe just 20 seconds since its a heat press and not an iron??

Re: Heat Pressing Letters? Time/Temp? I would try 350 for 10 seconds and then go from there and see if you need to make changes..

Re: Heat Pressing Letters? Time/Temp? just wanted to tell you that i did the temp and time you gave me and it worked like a charm, they looked great...however, it was hard to line them up so i won't use them too much! thank you as always!
