Default Printing on the back of a shirt

Hey Gang, was just wondering, is there a trick to getting pressure on the top part of the back of the shirt print. It seems the collar sort of gets in the way ,not allowing even pressure, only on the top 1/2 inch or so.....When i peeled the paper off, it wasnt getting enough pressure....Must be a easy solve, any ideas? Thanks in advance, Lee

If you're pressing right near the collar and can't position the shirt so the collar hangs off the side of the press, try using a mousepad under the image that you're transferring to raise the shirt a little bit so the collar is not being pressed.

Dumb question, are both sides of a heat press heated?

The top only, unless you buy a special press with top and bottom heat. You would not use that for heat transfers.
