Tips for Picking the Correct Fabric:
- With fabric, you are looking for ones that can take high heat and pressure.
- More fragile fabrics like silk cannot take heat and will scorch as will leather.
- When choosing a color of fabric other than white, avoid ones that are garment dyed as they may experience discoloration and will not hold up to as many washes.
- Because the system does not have a white ink, you need to fabrics colors that are in the white, light and bright range so that the design is as visible and vibrant as possible.
Tips for Picking the Correct Stone:
- With choosing stone, or ceramic, you want one that is porous and does not have any coating
- Because the system does not have a white ink, you need to choose lighter color stones so that the design is as visible and vibrant as possible.
