Description

This is a heat press for transferring dye sublimation prints to mugs. The Epson_SureColor_F170 is our current dye sublimation printer.

Guide

  1. Turn on to 400°.
  2. Tape the heat transfer paper using klapton (amber colored) tape.
  3. Wait a little after it has reached temperature for the heat to saturate.
  4. Put in the mug, clamp it closed.
  5. The temperature will drop to 350°, maybe lower.
  6. Keep in the press until it reaches 400°
  7. Optionally keep for 20 seconds after it's reached 400°
  8. Remove and set aside. (Do I really need to tell you that it'll be hot, be careful?)
