The press guide below provides detailed recommendations for the ideal time, temperature, and pressure settings when using our VersiFlex Decorating System.
To view video subtitles in your language, please press c (subtitles/closed captions), followed by Settings > Subtitles/cc and then select your language.
The chart should be considered a helpful starting point rather than a definitive solution. Producing high-quality finished products depends on multiple factors, such as selecting appropriate substrates, ensuring the substrates are of high quality, using a properly calibrated heat press, managing colors effectively, and carefully following manufacturer guidelines. Additionally, hands-on testing and practice play a crucial role in achieving the best possible results.
If you experience challenges during the pressing process or do not see your specific substrate listed in the guide, we strongly recommend reaching out to your dealer or contacting the substrate manufacturer directly for personalized recommendations and expert guidance.
