I'm going to be purchasing my first heat press today (finally!) and have heard people talk about the benefits of the teflon pad protectors.
Would you recommend getting both the upper AND lower pads?
How the bottom pad works is pretty obvious to me but I'm trying to picture in my head how the upper pad works.
Obviously it's platen --> pad ---> transfer, right? So the heat goes through the pad and hits the transfer. When you lift the platen off of the transfer the pad keeps the transfer from sticking to the platen and from ink getting on the upper platen? Sound right?
