What kind of training is need to get started in heat printing?
It takes about 10 minutes to learn the proper way to use a heat press. Anyone can get started after knowing a few basics, such as how to preheat the garment, what to do about zippers and buttons, the purpose of cover sheets and how to apply a few different types of transfers. Most heat applied products come with complete instructions, but it’s helpful to practice on some scrap material if you’ve never operated a press before. There are different types of transfers and transfer materials for different types of garments, including nylon. The type of adhesive that is on the back of the transfer or transfer material is key in whether or not it will stick.
