The transfer elements do not adhere to the
textile
|
Possible Causes:
too low
unequal temperature distribution on heating surfaceRemedy:
set temp exactly at 170 deg. C
check the temp. with a measuring strip or heat gauge |
Possible Causes:
too shortRemedy:
lengthen the time |
Possible Causes:
too little
press doesn't close plane-parallelRemedy:
increase pressure for thick rigid fabrics |
Possible Causes:
too soft or too thick
too hard or too thinRemedy:
test the ideal heat pad |
The glue runs onto the fabric
|
Possible Causes:
too highRemedy:
set temp exactly at 170 deg. C |
Possible Causes:
too longRemedy:
reduce the time for thin fabrics |
Possible Causes:
too highRemedy:
reduce the pressure for thin fabrics |
Possible Causes:
too hardRemedy:
use hard felt or silicone foam |
The transfer foils leave impressions on pressure-
sensitive textiles such as velvet, knitwear, etc.
|
Possible Causes:
too highRemedy:
reduce temp exactly at 170 deg. C
steam the fabric on the reverse side |
Possible Causes:
too longRemedy:
reduce the application time
steam the fabric on the reverse side |
Possible Causes:
too highRemedy:
reduce the pressure
steam the fabric piece |
Possible Causes:
too hardRemedy:
switch from hard felt to soft silicone |
The transfer motifs have to be applied to
multi-layer fabric parts such as seams, bags, collars, cuffs, etc.
|
|
lengthen the application time, because multi-layer fabrics
take longer for the adhesive to melt |
select a high contact pressure |
select the pad permitting optimal contact between the
transfer motif and the heating plate, e.g. for pocket borders balance out the height by
inserting exactly cut pieces of felt |
The transfer motifs have to be applied to suede
leather
|
pre-shrink the material = 1-2X without the transfer 10 sec at
170 deg. C in the heat press |
begin with a shorter application time -- as a test |
select medium pressure |
select silicone foam as a pad |
