How We Made It: Cotton T-Shirt

The VersiFlex decorating system expands the range of what you can personalize by allowing you to press onto light, bright, and white cotton shirts.

Tools and Supplies to Make it:

How to Make It:

For this project, we are using cotton t-shirts 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 fabric on the press and line the paper up on top as you place it on the product.
Cover with blow out paper.
Press the fabric for 30 seconds at VERY HIGH pressure.
When finished, remove the fabric from the press and peel the paper off as quickly as possible.

Tips & Tricks:

Your Time, Temperature, and Pressure are important for pressing onto Cotton. You will want your pressure to be as high as possible. If you cannot get the pressure high enough, you can increase your time and temperature.
Removing the VersiFlex Light paper should be done as soon as the press is complete. The peel is similar to removing a sticker from the page, you want to do a peel close to the surface and keep it slow and steady. If it is too hard to remove, increase your pressure or time and temperature.
