Hey,

Looking to see if anyone has tried using their heat press to soften or smooth out the feel of screen printed garments.

What were your results? Advice? Tips?

Thanks for reading/replying!!

It will not soften it will smoothit out to look like a plastisol transfer. Teflon sheet will give it a glossy look!!!
Use a baking sheet or parchment paper to get a matte look.

Yeah it works great if you are having some rough prints. I go 6-8 seconds at 330 degrees... medium pressure. Turns out identical to a plastisol transfer.
