Before you press

  • Test the settings on a scrap or a hidden spot of the same blank before pressing the real item.
  • Cut HTV mirrored and place it face down with the carrier/liner on top.
  • Wait 24 hours after pressing before the first wash.
  • Wash inside out and do not bleach.
  • Peel temperature matters: follow the product's hot, warm or cold peel; removing a cold-peel liner too early can stop the design transferring.
  • Settings differ by base fabric and by press; use the setting for your exact material, fabric and machine.

Cold, warm or hot peel?

Cold peel means wait until the carrier sheet is cool to the touch; warm, until you can hold it comfortably; hot, peel right away. Peeling at the wrong time is the most common reason vinyl lifts.

Iron-on is cut face down, so turn on Mirror before cutting. Not sure how big to make it? See the HTV size chart. Need a design? Browse free SVG files.
