📋 Instructions for Shoe Heat Press

Prepare Your Workspace and Materials

Set up your heat press on a stable, heat-resistant surface in a well-ventilated area. Gather your materials: the substrate (e.g., t-shirt or mug), transfer paper with your printed design, heat-resistant tape, and protective sheets like Teflon or butcher paper. Ensure your design is mirrored if needed for sublimation.

Set Temperature, Time, and Pressure

Plug in your heat press and turn it on. Refer to the product’s recommended settings (found in our user manuals or product descriptions on printgeek.com.au). Typical ranges:Temperature: 180–200°C (356–392°F) for most sublimation items.Time: 30–60 seconds for fabrics; 180–240 seconds for mugs.Pressure: Medium to firm, depending on the material—adjust the knob or lever accordingly.Allow the press to preheat fully (usually 5–10 minutes) until it reaches the set temperature.

Position and Press

Place the substrate on the lower platen. Align your transfer paper face down on the item and secure with tape. Cover with a protective sheet to prevent scorching. Close the press firmly and start the timer. Apply even pressure—avoid opening mid-cycle.

Cool and Finish

Once the timer beeps, carefully lift the press (use heat-resistant gloves). Peel the transfer paper while hot for best results (or cool for certain materials). Let the item cool completely before handling or packaging.
