Finishing (For Improved Washability & a Matt Finish):

• Cotton (Rasterized/Vector): 180-200°C (356-392°F) / 10 sec.
• Cotton (Full-Scale): 150-160°C (300-320°F) / 30 sec.
• Polyester: 125-135°C (257-275°F) / 10 sec.

Note: Different CMYK printer manufacturers use different types of Toners. The settings above are only reference values. Finding out the optimal temperature and time requires some experimentation.

A-Foil & B-Paper Process: Hot Stamping Foils

1. Prepare your image to use 400% Black.
2. Print your design in Mirror Image Mode onto the Matt side of the A-Foil
3. Place the A-Foil in the middle of the lower plate (printed or matt side facing up).
4. Place the B-Paper LowTemp on top of the A-Foil (coated side showing down)*.
5. Cover the A-Foil & B-Paper LowTemp with a sheet of Matt Finishing Economy (Silicone Paper).
6. Press at 150-160°C (300-320°F) between 90-120 sec. with 2-3 bar (29-43.5 psi) Medium pressure**.
7. Separate the B-Paper LowTemp from the A-Foil while HOT. Peeling diagonally, in a low & smooth flowing motion.
8. Cut around your design to remove the unwanted B-Paper coating frame.

* The B-Paper LowTemp is slightly smaller than the A-Foil. This is to prevent your transfer press from getting dirty.
** For designs where White Toner covers the whole image, increase your Press time to 120 seconds.

Transfer Application Process:

1. Place the textile on the Heat Press.
2. Fix the transfer by taping the corners of the A-Foil with Heat Resistant Tape.
3. Press using the textile Settings (Cotton, Polyester, etc.).
4. Remove the A-Foil after it is absolutely COLD.
5. For improved Washability and a Matt Finish, cover with Matt Finishing Economy & press once more, using your textile Finishing settings.

Hot Stamping Foil (HSF) Finishing:

1. Place the desired HSF sheet on top of your design with the Metallic effect facing up.
2. Cover with a sheet of Matt Finishing Economy.
3. Press together using the Hot Stamping Foil Finishing settings.
4. Separate the HSF Sheet once it is completely COLD.
