Tools and Supplies to Make it:
- Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 Printer
- Sawgrass VersiFlex Inks
- VersiFlex Light Paper
- Flat Heat Press
- Velvet Pillow Cover
How to Make It:
- For this project, we are using a velvet pillow cover we picked up at a local craft store
- In the Sawgrass Print Utility, we chose Natural Fabrics for the product.
- We printed this on 11″x17″ VersiFlex Light paper. B you have flexibility with pillow covers to make the design as small or as large as you need to fit your printer and press.
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 fabrfic 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:
- With fabric, pressure and temperature are very important. Use a heat gun to check the temperature of your press. For a smooth result, have the pressure on your press as high as possible.
- This long style pillow would fit well with a design printed on 13″x19″ paper. This larger paper can be used with the bypass tray on an SG1000 printer.
