Wash & Care Instructions
For long lasting transfers, and due to the delicate nature of the Puff transfer, we strongly recommend washing inside out with cold water. Line dry is strongly recommended.
Due to the raised nature of puff, these transfers can be more prone to cracking or damages than our standard flat screen prints. We recommend closely following the wash instructions for best results.

Tips & Tricks
- Allow Some Time After Pressing: We recommend laying the newly applied garments out for about 24 - 48 hours to allow the garment to completely cure before folding or washing.
-
Remove Teflon Sheets, Covers, or Pillows: If experiencing scorching, use a Teflon sheet to protect the garment. Always run a wash test before full production when using a Teflon sheet.
-
Pre-Press Your Garment: Pre-press for 3 seconds to remove moisture before applying.
-
Positioning for Even Application: Ensure any zippers, seams, or buttons are off the edge of the platen for even application.
-
Use a Pressing Pillow When Necessary: If encountering unavoidable seams or zippers, use a pressing pillow to raise the pressing area. Increase dwell time by 3-5 seconds to compensate for possible deflation in the pillow.
-
Large Coverage Designs: For designs with a large area of coverage, consider increasing heat and pressure to ensure consistent application.
