How To Press It:
Temperature: 375°F | Temperature: 30 seconds | Pressure: High
- Position your tree skirt onto the base of your heat press.
- Prepress your fabric for 10-15 seconds to release moisture. If you see steam when releasing the press, press again until the steam disappears.
- While the print is still wet, place your print face down onto the center of the tree skirt. Do not reposition your print once you have it placed.
- Place a piece of protective blowout paper over your print to protect your heat press from any excess ink.
- Press for 30 seconds at 375°F at high pressure.
- When the timer sounds, open your press and peel your print immediately. Delayed peeling will cause the paper to stick.
- Place the blowout paper back over the printed fabric and press for another 10 seconds to seal the print.
