1. Preparation for Printing the Design
- Prepare the graphic file ensuring it is set up the right way (not in mirror mode, as the final transfer will be direct).
- Configure the printer according to the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer for the type of flex or vinyl used.
2. Checking Printing and Drying Temperatures
- Ensure the printing temperature is set correctly to allow proper application of ink on the flex.
- Make sure the ink drying temperature is also set correctly. This step is crucial to fix the ink without causing smudges or print defects.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Weeding
- After drying, proceed with weeding by removing the excess material around the printed design.
- Use weeding tools to precisely remove unwanted parts, especially if the design has fine details.
6. Transferring the Design with Application Tape
- Use a specific application tape to transfer the printed design to the textile. Avoid using paper application tape which may burn under heat.
- 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 (with its application tape still in place) 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 100°C, apply medium pressure, and press for 20 seconds. The combination of heat, time, and pressure ensures the design adheres well to the textile.
8. Removing the Polyester Hot
- Once pressing is complete, immediately remove the polyester backing while hot, pulling gently to ensure the marking remains securely in place.
By following these step-by-step instructions, you will achieve a high-quality, durable, and well-applied transfer on the textile.
- Follow the care instructions specified on the textile: Adhere to the recommendations specific to the fabric on which the film has been applied to ensure its durability.
- Storage: The film should be stored under 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 adhesion or elasticity.
- Washing: Not recommended. Avoid washing the textile to preserve the integrity of the transfer.
- Tumble drying: Not recommended. Tumble drying can damage the transfer.
- Dry cleaning: Not recommended. Dry cleaning could alter the quality of the transfer.
These recommendations are essential to ensure the quality and longevity of the marking on the personalized textile.
