1. Preparation for Printing the Design
- Prepare the graphic file ensuring it is set up in the correct orientation (not mirrored).
- Configure the printer according to the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer for the type of flex or vinyl used.
2. Using the Print Profile
- Select the appropriate print profile suited to the type of flex and inks used, for accurate color reproduction and optimized drying.
3. Drying After Printing
- Once printing is complete, carefully remove the flex from the printer.
- Allow the flex to dry at room temperature for at least 4 hours. This drying time ensures the inks set properly before handling or cutting the material.
4. Cutting the Film
- If you need to cut the design with a plotter, you must print cut marks along with the design. Use a flex blade suitable for cutting heat-transfer flex, and adjust the blade depth precisely according to the material thickness. This ensures a clean cut without damaging the paper backing.
- Check that the blade settings optimize precision, especially for fine details of the design. It is recommended to perform a test cut before starting production.
5. Weeding
- After drying and cutting, proceed with weeding by removing the excess material around the printed design.
- Use weeding tools to carefully remove unwanted parts, especially if the design has fine details.
6. Transferring the Design
- It is not advisable to use application tape with this product. Manual transfer of the design is recommended.
- Position the design on the desired area of the textile, ensuring correct alignment.
7. Pressing the Marking onto the Textile
- Place the textile on the heat press, ensuring it is properly positioned and the application area is clean.
- Position the flex on the desired area of the textile.
- Protect the design with silicone paper to avoid direct contact between the press plate and the polyester film.
- Set the press to a temperature of 170°C, apply medium pressure, and press for 50 seconds. The combination of heat, time, and pressure ensures the design adheres well to the textile.
By following these steps, you will achieve a professional-quality, durable, and well-applied marking on the textile.
- Follow the care instructions specified on the garment: Adhere to the recommendations specific to the textile on which the film has been applied to ensure its durability.
- Wait 24 hours before the first wash: This allows the film to fully adhere to the fabric and prevents it from peeling off or deteriorating prematurely.
- Iron only on the reverse side: To protect the transfer and avoid damage from direct heat, it is essential to iron the garment on the reverse side.
- Storage: The film should be stored in optimal conditions, upright, away from direct light and moisture, for a maximum of one year. Improper storage can affect the film’s properties, such as its adhesion or elasticity.
- Washing: The garment can be washed at a maximum temperature of 60°C. It is recommended to wash it inside out to prevent the transfer from being directly exposed to friction, which could damage it.
- Avoid using harsh products: Detergents with bleach or other harsh chemicals can damage the film and affect its durability.
- Tumble drying: Tumble drying is allowed, but it is preferable to check the textile’s compatibility with this drying method.
- Dry cleaning: Not recommended. Dry cleaning may alter the quality of the transfer.
These recommendations are essential to ensure the quality and longevity of the marking on the personalized textile.
