Pressing Questions

What kind of peel or release do Cloud 9 transfers have?

Our transfers are designed to peel after cooling down from pressing. 

What kind of heat press is required to apply our heat transfers?

Our heat transfers are professional-grade that are designed to work with a commercial or at home heat press. Our transfers can work with both an air operated heat press or a manual heat press.
Important: Our heat transfers are not designed to be pressed with a domestic iron.

Can you help me troubleshoot with pressing?

Not all heat presses are created equal!

If you are using a Manual Press and are having issues they may be due to insufficient pressure. Pressure should be firm to very firm pressure. The trick is to find the firmest pressure without the possibility of damaging the fabric. Each press is unique!
