Pressing Instructions
PRESSING INSTRUCTIONS
A commercial heat press is required for screen print transfers. We do not recommend the Cricut easy press, it does not produce enough pressure for transfers to adhere properly. You should always check the temperature of your press with an infrared thermometer before you begin pressing. It is common for heat presses to run hotter or colder than the digital temperature actually shows on your press. In this case, you may need to adjust your temperature to make the proper accommodations.

1. MEASURE CUP AND DECAL WRAP. TRIM EXCESS FROM SIDES OF DECAL AS NECESSARY, AS WELL AS TO AVOID THE WRAP OVERLAPPING WHEN APPLIED ON THE CUP.
2. PEEL DECAL WRAP OFF OF WHITE BACKING.
3. LINE THE DECAL FILM ONTO THE CUP AND STICK DECAL TO CUP, STARTING ON ONE SIDE AND PRESSING THE WRAP DOWN ONTO THE CUP. THE ADHESIVE IS VERY STRONG, ONCE APPLIED TO THE CUP, IT CANNOT BE REMOVED
4. USING A SQUEEGEE, RUB THE DECAL REALLY WELL TO PROPERLY ADHERE AND WORK OUT ANY AIR BUBBLES. THE MORE RUBBING THE BETTER.
