How We Made It: Jean Jacket

This Jean Jacket takes on a new life by adding a personalized design.

Tools and Supplies to Make it:

  • Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 Printer
  • Sawgrass VersiFlex Inks 
  • VersiFlex Light Paper
  • Flat Heat Press
  • Denim Jacket

How to Make It:

  • For this project, we are using a denim fabric we picked up at a local clothing store
  • In the Sawgrass Print Utility, we chose Natural Fabrics for the product.
  • We printed this on 11″x 17″ 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: 

  • This design is larger and works well with 11″x17″ or 13″x19″ paper on an SG1000 printer. But, you can adjust your design to fit smaller paper and your SG500 printer.
  • Pressing always works best on a flat surface. Try to have only the even panel of the jacket in the press to get the best results. You can also use a pressing pillow to help create the best results.
