OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The t-shirt press can be used for sublimating onto t-shirts, hoodies, hi-visibility vests, mouse mats, jigsaw puzzles
and phone cases. You can also press vinyl onto t-shirts, bags, hoodies and other suitable garments.
1) Prepare the item you wish to press - see "Printing & Design Instructions" page - and attach the top t-shirt
pressing platen and base plate referring to the "Installing the T-shirt Press" section.
2) Set your idle temperature, target temperature and time settings on the control panel - see "Set-Up Instructions".
3) Raise the adjustable arm and use the handle to swing the press to the left to allow for better access to the base
plate without burning yourself on the top platen which will get hot. Position the item you wish to press onto on
the base plate, if you are pressing a garment ensure it is crease free as this will affect the print quality.
4) Place the design faced down and on top of the item with the blank side of the paper facing out. Ensure the
design is in full and direct contact with the item, you should smooth out the image and secure it in place using
heat tape - especially if it is a small image.
5) Swing the top press section back in line with the bottom of the heat press and lower the adjustable arm so that
the press hangs around 2-3 inches from the base. Pull the handle down to make sure that the press sits on top
of the base with enough pressure to hold the item in place.
To loosen the pressure, unscrew the pressure knob to increase the height of the handle. Screw it down to decrease
the height of the handle and increase the pressure.
6) Press the SET (square) key to allow the temperature to rise from the idle temperature to the target temperature.
7) When the press reaches the target temperature an alarm will sound to notify you, then the timer will
automatically start and again sound an alarm when finished.
8) Use the handle to raise the press away from the item, swing the arm to the side and remove the item from the
press using heat proof gloves.
Press the SET (square) button and the element will drop back down to the idle temperature, ready to press
another item. If you do not intend to press another item turn off the machine.
