---
### Step-by-Step Instructions
**Step 1: Adjust settings**
Set the timer to 7 seconds and the temperature to 300°F-350°F depending on the garment you will be pressing. Adjust the pressure to max/heavy or 60PSI.
**Step 2: Pre-Press**
Pre-press your garment for 3 seconds to remove all moisture before applying. Ensure all Teflon sheets or heat press covers are removed.
**Step 3: Load garment and place the transfer**
Lay the garment down on the lower platen, smoothing out wrinkles. Place the transfer print-side down.
**Step 4: Press the transfer**
Press the transfer for 7 seconds. Once the timer is complete, immediately grab a corner and peel diagonally in a smooth, deliberate motion.

### Wash & Care Instructions
For long-lasting transfers, we recommend washing inside out with cold water. Line drying is strongly recommended, but tumble drying with low heat works as well.

### Tips & Tricks
- **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.
