For heat transfer, the clothes need to be ironed first, and then put the pattern on the position where the clothes need to be hot stamped for hot stamping. The temperature of hot stamping is 160° and it needs to be pressed for 20 seconds. The press is 5 KG, Slowly tear off the film.

Printable vinyl:

First, print the pattern on the white film, and then cut it into small pieces according to the shape. After the waste is discharged, use a cold laminator to cover the pattern surface with a layer of PET, and finally cut it out and iron it. The temperature of hot stamping is 135-145°C and it needs to be pressed for 12-15 seconds. The press is 4-6 KG, warm or cool peel is OK.
