Press-Ready Tips: Heat Press Settings & Application
Wrong press settings ruin great artwork. Use these starting points and adjust for your press and garment:
- Temperature: 320-330°F (160-165°C)
- Time: 12-18 seconds for thin cotton, 18-22 seconds for heavier fabrics
- Pressure: Medium to firm, even across the design
- Peel: Hot or warm peel depending on ink type; test one sample first
For detailed step-by-step guidance, see our press instructions: https://fivestardtf.com/instructions/
Quality Controls We Use
- White underbase checks for opacity on dark garments
- Color calibration for consistent brand matches
- Stress and wash testing on sample garments
- Hand-feel inspection for stretch and softness
