** Note: These are guidelines only and can vary based on individual heatpresses. Some testing may be required to achieve optimum transfer.
** If the printing paper sticks to your substrate it is either that you are allowing the item to cool for too long before trying to remove the paper. Try removing the paper as soon as you open the heatpress
** If sticking paper persists, try wetting the back of the paper under a tap and scrubbing away with a nail brush to reveal your printed item.

Caution Hot!

These items will be very hot when opening the heat press. ISub (Education) recommend using heat resistant gloves when handling printed items.
