Hi,
New member here. I have a question that is the flip side of one I read below. I have a couple of transfers printed on Avery computer transfer paper (81/2X11) that I need to do a final approval on. If I like them then I and the maker of these will be able to do business. They are both printed on the Avery light garment trans. paper but one has an added layer of ink behind the image to make it possible to do that one on dark garments. Any way the instructions for printing are for a household iron and I need to be able to use my heat press. I have a manual HIX press and have never done anything but transfers designed for presses. The instructions say to use the highest cotton setting on the iron, 3 minute press time using 20 second sweeps across and up and down with heavy pressure, peel cold. Now how would I convert those instructions to the correct temperature, pressure and press time for a heat press?
I have never done a cold peel either and from what I have seen it can ruin easily if you dont peel it at the right moment. Too soon and it screws up and wait too long and it screws up.
Any advise or guidance in this matter is greatly appreciated.
