Screen Print Pressing Instructions

Our screen print transfers (printed on white paper) give you that classic, soft, durable screen-printed look. Here's how to press them.

Quick Settings

  • Temperature: 350°F
  • Time: 7 seconds
  • Pressure: Heavy
  • Peel: Hot peel
  • Second press: Optional: 5 seconds with parchment paper or a Teflon sheet if any edges lift

Step-by-Step

  1. Pre-press: Press the blank garment for 5–10 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
  2. Position: Place the transfer print side down on the garment.
  3. Press: Press at 350°F for 7 seconds with heavy pressure.
  4. Peel: Peel the paper right away while hot, in one smooth motion.
  5. Touch-up (if needed): If anything lifts, cover with parchment or a Teflon sheet and press again for about 5 seconds.
