RECOMMENDED FABRICS
Cotton and some cotton/polyester blends. Always test print fabric before beginning a production run. Test for bleed resistance .
INK APPLICATION

• Direct Prints: For softer feeling direct prints, add 5% to 25% by vol- ume, of 710LF Softhand Additive. Reducing the ink with 1110LF Curable Reducer and using finer meshes can also greatly improve the softness of the finished print.

• Transfers (cold peel): It is important that the inks are only gelled dur- ing the transfer printing process otherwise the inks will not have adequate adhesion during the final transfer application.
  
• Transfers (hot peel): Mix inks with 500 Quick-Trans Additive and printed on a hot peel release paper. Gelation temperatures are the same as cold peel transfers. This procedure is not recommended for the glitter inks or metallic inks.

TRANSFER APPLICATION
Cold peel transfers: 10 to 15 seconds @ 350°F to 375°F (177°C to 191°C). Medium pressure (40 Ibs.) Hot peel transfers: 3 to 7 seconds @ 375°F to 400°F (191°C to 204° C). Medium to heavy pressure (40 lbs. to 60 lbs.)
