Transfer Sizing

Transfer sizes are based on the LONGEST SIDE of the design and can vary by design. For example: Depending on the design an adult size may be 10 inches long but only 8 inches wide to keep the proportions of the design. These are only SUGGESTED sizes for common garment applications. Please measure the substrate you intend on using before ordering. All sizing is approximate.

···Sizing···
-3” on at least one side (good for most coffee mugs and also good for shirts with pockets)
-3.5" on at least one side
-4” on at least one side (good for most tea towels or shirts with design in pocket area)
-4.5" / 5" / 5.5" on at least one side
-6" on at least one side (good for most infant shirts)
-6.5" / 7" / 7.5" on at least one side
-8" on at least one side (good for most toddler shirts)
-8.5" on at least one side
-9" on at least one side (good for most youth shirts)
-9.5" on at least one side
-10” on at least one side (good for most adult size shirts)
-10.5" / 11" on at least one side (good for most extra large adult size shirts/pillows)

Transfer Differences

···Sublimation Transfers···
Sublimation transfers are intended to be used with at least a 50% polyester light colored clothing or sublimated coated substrates. For clothing, the higher the polyester count the better. The image will have a "vintage" look if the garment has a lower polyester count. The transfers will NOT have a watermark. They come ready to press! Sublimation transfers are a very popular method for creating bleached tshirts.

All transfers will look lighter on the paper than when actually pressed. Please note that any white area inside the image area will not print white. Printers cannot print a white color and therefore these areas will be the same color as the garment/blank you are pressing the image on. Additionally, these transfers must be used on light colored clothing. Sublimation transfers will NOT show up on black shirt/blanks.

For polyester clothing, I personally use 385° for 50 seconds on my heat press but each press may differ. A home iron or easy press is not recommended for these transfers. Use a sheet of butcher paper inside the shirt and on top of the design. Use a fresh sheet of butcher paper for every press in the case that the colors bleed onto the butcher paper. Do not use Teflon paper. I suggest cutting/tearing the transfer as close as possible to the design to help reduce the chance of transfer sheet marks. I recommend using heat tape which is for keeping the transfer in place and prevents ghosting. Light pressure is needed for sub transfers compared to vinyl work. Using a lint roller over the item before pressing will remove lint and prevent blue marks. For other substrates (mugs/ornaments), I recommend following the blank seller's suggested time and temperature settings.

···Heat Transfer Vinyl···
HTV transfers can go on a variety of material/fabrics such as 100% cotton, 100% polyester, and cotton/poly blends as well as a variety of colors! HTV transfers are printed using a commercial printer utilizing Eco-Solvent inks. These are for clothing/fabric only and are not intended to be used with cups/wood/etc. A heat press is also recommended to adhere the HTV rather than a home iron or easy press to give better and consistent results.HTV transfers come already weeded and with transfer tape applied. Some designs may come with a small white border depending on how detailed the design can be. Please let me know if this will be an issue before purchase. Peel the back carrier sheet away and you’re ready to lay it on your garment and press.Before pressing your transfer, preheat your garment for 3-5 seconds at 315°F. Place your already masked transfer onto your garment and press for 315° for 15 seconds with medium pressure. Peel the carrier sheet while hot, but slowly. If any part does not seem to be sticking while removing the transfer tape, lay it back down and press again, but increasing time and/or pressure. Each heat press is different.Care Instructions: Wait 24 hours before washing. Wash inside out using mild detergent. Do not bleach. Do not dry clean. Tumble dry low or hang to dry.

Transfer Instructions

A set of printed instructions are included in your order.

Sublimation Transfers

Recommended Application Instructions for Clothing:

  • Preheat your garment for 3-5 seconds at 385° F.
  • Place butcher paper in between garment layers (i.e. inside shirt).
  • Place transfer, image side down, onto garment. Then, place butcher paper on top.
  • Press at 385° F for 50 seconds with medium pressure.

 Helpful Tips/Tricks:

  • It is important to note that every heat press is different and the time/temp can differ per press and per item.
  • A home iron or easy press is not recommended for these transfers due to possible ghosting.
  • For other substrates (mugs/ornaments), I recommend following the blank seller's suggested time and temperature settings.
  • Use a sheet of butcher paper inside the shirt and on top of the design. Use a fresh sheet of butcher paper for every press in the case that the colors bleed onto the butcher paper. Do not use Teflon paper.
  • I recommend cutting/tearing the transfer as close as possible to the design to help reduce the chance of transfer sheet marks.
  • Using heat tape is great for keeping the transfer in place and helps prevents ghosting.
  • Using a lint roller over the item before pressing will remove lint and prevent blue marks.

 

Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)

Recommended Application Instructions for Clothing (Once Masked):

  • Preheat garment for 3-5 seconds at 315° F.
  • Put transfer onto garment (one backing is removed). Image needs to be right side up.
  • Press at 315° F for 15 seconds with medium/firm pressure.
  • Remove transfer sheet/masking tape while hot, but peel slowly.

    Helpful Tips/Tricks:

    • It is important to note that every heat press is different and the time/temperature can differ per press and per item. A home iron or easy press is not recommended for these transfers due to inconsistences and for the longevity of the print.
    • Do not apply any heat to the transfer until the transfer tape is applied, backing removed, and it’s ready to be applied to the garment.
    • After pressing, when removing the transfer tape if some of the transfer didn’t adhere, lay the transfer tape back down and repress for 15 seconds at 315° F. If that still does not work, try increasing your pressure and/or temperature as each press varies. You may also need a pressing pillow for the proper pressure.
    • Care Instructions: Wait 24 hours before washing. Wash inside out using mild detergent. Do not bleach. Do not dry clean. Tumble dry low or hang to dry.

    There are two (2) sample transfers included in your package to help with testing prior to using your actual transfers. Two sunflowers if ordering HTV or two butterflies if ordering sublimation.
