HEAT TRANSFER APPLICATION GUIDELINES 

These are general guidelines. For specific time and temperature settings for specific films

and/or transfer papers, please refer to the instructions for that particular product.

These are just suggestions. You may find other times and temperatures that work for you.

After taking the substrate out of the press, you can immerse it in water to cool it down*.

This will help the substrate from continuing to sublimate.

*Immersing a hot glass substrate into cold water could cause it to crack or break,

you can use a fan to cool down this type of substrate.
