HOW TO DESIGN AND SIZE YOUR DESIGNS FOR UPLOADING
heat press instructions
Upper platen heat 280-290F
Lower platen heat 280F
“Make sure your heating element doesn’t have any heating inaccuracies.”
All heat presses may vary so dial in your settings beforehand for best results.
Pre press your hat for 7 seconds to eliminate any moisture and to loosen up the material, Make sure to mold the hat shape to the platen, you should have no bubbles between the hat and platen it should feel flat to the platen surface.
Peel the paper backing off patch and place the patch on the hat. Some patches may or may not come with a paper backing based on the adhesive style. The lower heat and pre press should help this patch stay in place slightly. Hold the patch down to metl adhesive a bit, then, Press patch for 25-30 seconds …. If you are using the Hat Mat silicone pad which is highly recommended, so you don’t scorch your hats, double the dwell time to 45-50 seconds, or whatever time works best for your machine setup. Always preheat your silicone pad first for best results.

- Check your patches before placement.
- Always check your heat press platen with a laser temperature gun to ensure accurate temps.
