Tools and Supplies to Make it:
- Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 Printer
- Sawgrass VersiFlex Inks
- VersiFlex Light Paper
- Flat Heat Press
- Cotton Tote
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:
- Pressing works best when the surface is as flat as possible. When possible, keep seams, hems, and handles outside of the press area. Not possible? Add a pressing pillow to create an even surface.
- 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.
