Hello, you can do across seams but it can be difficult for it to look good, the fabric gathers where stitched... do a pre press to try to flatten fabric first as much as possible. You'll see creases etc, so can try pull the material tort to avoid them... then place transfer and do a short press, peel liner and then place a bit of cotton over the top of transfer and press again, best chance of it looking okay.

Hi Johnny, sounds like your press is out by quite a bit. In the temperature calibration window in your IQ system you will need to adjust the bottom number ("Temperature Calibration"). In your case the top number ("Target Temperature") will need to say 316F and then you will need to change the bottom number to be the average temp that your thermogun is saying - 268F. The IQ system will then adjust itself to get more heat into the top platen so that the heat it is transferring into the garment is higher.

There is a product called VLR which is a liquid solvent to removed vinyl transfers from garments

100% polyester

@@mzikayiseelliot5911we manufacture the transfers at our Brisbane facility. We have a range of print and cut vinyl options with blockers to prevent the dye from the jerseys discolouring the numbers. All you need is a heat press to apply them. Let me know if you would like a quote.

Depends on the transfers you are using. Our UltraColour transfers require 150°C to adhere correctly but won't need long. A short prepress followed by a short transfer press followed by a short post press would be the way to go. If you are worried about too much heat on the garment we have some low temperature vinyls suited for nylon. All of these are available on our website.

Yes its a good idea to back off the pressure a little with the smaller plate. The smaller the plate size the more pressure to reduce. Cotton garments are pretty good when it comes to handling pressure but synthetics can be a bit touchy and prone to scorch marks when the pressure is too high. When pressing a job on a new sized platen its a good idea to do a bit of testing to start with to get your settings dialled in.

Thank you!

Your best bet is to take the connector off the dual and take it to a hardware store so they can find the right part for your compressor. All is needed is an adapter to connect the two up.

We sure do Evan. Under the Equipment tab on our website - www.velflex.com.au/Hotronix-Double-Sleeve-Leg-Platen-6-X-20-15-x-25cm

Hi Lynn, we would suggest using a damp cloth or alcohol wipes to clean the rollers

Hello! And congrats on deciding to upgrade your heat press setup. The dual air fusion requires 1 horsepower and 8 gallon hold tank, 120 psi - uses 3.8 cfm. There isn't any one particular compressor that we endorse. As long as they meet the above requirements you should be good to go. We do however recommend purchasing the compressor from a reputable source so if you do have any issues with the compressor you can easily return it for a different one.

It sure would. We have a couple of HTV products that are specifically suited for adhering to nylon materials. Our Flex Nylon, and Digital Invite Light Nylon if you require a printed product. Both of these are available to order on our website. Just search "nylon". Let me know if you have any other questions. More than happy to help.

@@janellekm do you mean like a calico fabric? If you send a photo to [email protected] we can organise a video. I don't think we have one already made.

@@velflex.australia I have sent you an email. 😀

Correct. ScreenPrint PRO uses your traditional plastisol inks with a modern production method giving you the flexibility of hot or cold peel transfers.

Definitely an option for natural fabrics. Natural fabrics as you alluded to don't tend to scorch as easily, it's the moisture evaporation that gives it the scorched look. Synthetic fabrics however actually scorch if too much heat and pressure is applied - and a steamer won't fix that unfortunately. Though regardless of whether that material is natural or synthetic, if you are applying way too much pressure you are compressing the fibres to a point where they may not return for some time which isn't ideal if you've got to get the job to your customer within a few days.

Hi Rafael, not something we've tried but I don't see why not. You would just need to adjust the distance between rollers to accomodate the extra thickness of the magnet.

@@velflex.australia thanks so much 👍🏻

We've only used it for vinyl laminating so can't confirm the process for rigid signage. You would need to increase the distance between rollers to accomodate the thicker material. Other than that the process should be similar.

@@victoriapitsakis9104 great tip Victoria! Thanks for sharing.

You are correct. That was an empty bladder.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our video. It sounds like you have an impressive setup. Can't go wrong with a Hotronix press! With your passion and the right tools, your business will grow and succeed. If you ever have any questions or need further advice, feel free to reach out. Best of luck, and thanks again for watching!

Sounds like we have the exact same setup! Did you get them from Embroidery Source?

The reason dye is released from the shirt is from the way sublimation is done. High heat opens up the cells in the garment for the sublimation ink to enter into. As the garment cools the cells close locking the colour in. That's why when we then heat press a transfer on, the heat reopens the garment's cells allowing some of the ink to be released. The ink used in our high quality transfers is heat resistant so it is very unlikely for the ink from the transfer to bleed into the garment.

Hello! Do you know the material of the bags? Since you are familiar with it Cricut vinyl should be fine for your natural fabrics. Cricut vinyls can struggle with your more intricate designs though and I'm not sure how they perform on synthetic materials. Would depend on your heat press as well.
