ChromaBlast Printing and Heat Transfer Instructions
RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS
White or light colored fabrics in 100% cotton.
PRINTING
Print using the supplied ChromaBlast 4880 Driver program only. The Print Side of
ChromaBlast Media is opposite the ChromaBlast Logo. For the Epson 4880 place Print
Side face DOWN in the printer tray. ChromaBlast Logo side UP.
Mirror Image:
Check this box in the ChromaBlast Driver to ensure the image prints
in reverse and that text appears correctly when image is transferred.
If your image is already reversed in your graphic program, leave this
box unchecked.
TRANSFERRING THE IMAGE USING A COMMERCIAL HEAT PRESS
1.
If desired, you may trim the non-printed area before transferring, leaving a .25
inch (1/4”) margin around the printed area.
2.
Place garment on the heat press. Pre-Press for 3-5 seconds to remove
moisture. Position a Teflon
®
sheet between garment layers to prevent “Blow
Through”. Next apply ChromaBlast paper with reversed image face down,
against the garment surface to be printed. Position carefully.
3.
Press image according to the following recommended settings.
Pressure:
Heavy If using a pneumatic press, set the pressure to
60 psi.
Temperature:
375°F - 400°F (190°C - 205°C)
Time:
40 sec If you press the garment at a temperature
higher than 375°F, reduce the transfer time to
prevent scorching.
4.
Peel the paper off
immediately using an even motion.
5.
Stretch the image area lightly and evenly, while the shirt is hot, both side to
side and top to bottom to reduce the hand.
RECOMMENDED HEAT PRESS SETTINGS
Pressure:
Heavy. If using a pneumatic press, set the pressure to 60 psi.
Temperature:
375°F - 400°F (190°C - 205°C)
Time:
40 seconds. If you press the garment at a temperature higher than
375°F, reduce the transfer time to prevent scorching.
In order for the Media to bond the ChromaBlast Ink to the cotton fibers it is
critical that
the
pressure and time relationship in the recommended settings above be maintained
to achieve the best looking and longest lasting results possible.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Store ChromaBlast Media in a cool, dry area within the provided plastic storage bag. Do
not remove from carton until ready to use.
