Description
This is a heat press for transferring dye sublimation prints to mugs. The Epson_SureColor_F170 is our current dye sublimation printer.
Guide
- Turn on to 400°.
- Tape the heat transfer paper using klapton (amber colored) tape.
- Wait a little after it has reached temperature for the heat to saturate.
- Put in the mug, clamp it closed.
- The temperature will drop to 350°, maybe lower.
- Keep in the press until it reaches 400°
- Optionally keep for 20 seconds after it's reached 400°
- Remove and set aside. (Do I really need to tell you that it'll be hot, be careful?)
