Tools and Supplies to Make it:
- Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 Printer
- Sawgrass VersiFlex Inks
- VersiFlex Light Paper
- Hat Press
- Cotton Hat
How to Make It:
- For this project, we are using a cotton hat we picked up at a local craft store
- In the Sawgrass Print Utility, we chose Natural Fabrics for the product.
- We printed this on 8.5″x 11″ VersiFlex Light paper
How to Press It:
- Turn on your press on and set the temperature to 375F (191C) degrees
- If you see any dust, lint roll your print area to make sure your surface is clean.
- Place your hat on the press
- Use the lever to tight the hat in the press. Make sure there are no wrinkles on the press area
- Line the paper up on top as you place it on the product.
- Press the fabric for 30 seconds at VERY HIGH pressure.
- When finished, remove the hat from the press and peel the paper off as quickly as possible.
Tips & Tricks:
- Pressing works best when the surface is as flat as possible. For a hat, make sure there are no wrinkles by pulling the tension as tight as possible.
- Need inspiration? The MySawgrass design tool allows you to personalize your look by adding custom text and even changing the colors on the designs and elements in the program.
