Xpres Gem Tec - Manual (Page 7)

Gem Tec Material
(Application & Preparation)
To produce a Gem-Tec transfer you
will require the following materials &
accessories:
? Rhinestones (XP7500/1)
? Gem Tec Stencil Film
? Gem Tec Application Film
? Adhesive Film for Stencil
(XP7504)
(XP7505)
(XP7507)
Application Tray (XP4006) ?
Using the Adhesive Film for Stencil cut a piece of material
slightly larger than the size of your transfer and remove the
protective backing to reveal the sticky side of the film. Now cut the same size
area of Gem Tec Stencil Film and stick this directly onto the sticky Adhesive
as shown in Diagram 1 (The two adhesive sides of each material should be
stuck together). Now place the material in the cutter - the blue Stencil Film
face up, this is the side we are going to cut directly in to, as in Diagram 2.
(using
scissors/knife)
Now load the cutter by pressing
Enter when the display shows
‘Select Roll’, the head will now move
to the left hand side as shown
above. You are now ready to print as
shown on page 4.
Tip: Use a flock blade at approximately 200 - 250gf.
Once the design has been cut,
remove the Stencil Film from
Adhesive Film and stick the Stencil
Film to the Application Tray as in
the following step. Add the relevant size and colour
Rhinestones to the Application
Tray and use the Application
Sponge providing to brush the
Rhinestones into position. The
Rhinestones will drop into place due
to the unique shape of the stones.
Now use the Application Film to lift
the Rhinestones by placing the tacky
side face down on the stencil. Use the
Sponge provided to smooth over the
Application Film to allow the
Rhinestones to adhere/stick, then lift in
vertical motion (not right to left) lifting
the Rhinestones from the Stencil. Position the transfer on the garment
with the Rhinestones facing
upwards. Press at 160°C, 20
Seconds, Medium Pressure, Cold After pressing remove
Application Film (cold peel) to
reveal finished Gem-Tec transfer.
