Hi Lynn, we would suggest using a damp cloth or alcohol wipes to clean the rollers

Hello! And congrats on deciding to upgrade your heat press setup. The dual air fusion requires 1 horsepower and 8 gallon hold tank, 120 psi - uses 3.8 cfm. There isn't any one particular compressor that we endorse. As long as they meet the above requirements you should be good to go. We do however recommend purchasing the compressor from a reputable source so if you do have any issues with the compressor you can easily return it for a different one.

It sure would. We have a couple of HTV products that are specifically suited for adhering to nylon materials. Our Flex Nylon, and Digital Invite Light Nylon if you require a printed product. Both of these are available to order on our website. Just search "nylon". Let me know if you have any other questions. More than happy to help.

@@janellekm do you mean like a calico fabric? If you send a photo to marketing@velflex.com.au we can organise a video. I don't think we have one already made.

@@velflex.australia I have sent you an email. 😀

Correct. ScreenPrint PRO uses your traditional plastisol inks with a modern production method giving you the flexibility of hot or cold peel transfers.

Definitely an option for natural fabrics. Natural fabrics as you alluded to don't tend to scorch as easily, it's the moisture evaporation that gives it the scorched look. Synthetic fabrics however actually scorch if too much heat and pressure is applied - and a steamer won't fix that unfortunately. Though regardless of whether that material is natural or synthetic, if you are applying way too much pressure you are compressing the fibres to a point where they may not return for some time which isn't ideal if you've got to get the job to your customer within a few days.

Hi Rafael, not something we've tried but I don't see why not. You would just need to adjust the distance between rollers to accomodate the extra thickness of the magnet.

@@velflex.australia thanks so much 👍🏻

We've only used it for vinyl laminating so can't confirm the process for rigid signage. You would need to increase the distance between rollers to accomodate the thicker material. Other than that the process should be similar.

@@victoriapitsakis9104 great tip Victoria! Thanks for sharing.

You are correct. That was an empty bladder.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our video. It sounds like you have an impressive setup. Can't go wrong with a Hotronix press! With your passion and the right tools, your business will grow and succeed. If you ever have any questions or need further advice, feel free to reach out. Best of luck, and thanks again for watching!

Sounds like we have the exact same setup! Did you get them from Embroidery Source?

Celcius

The reason dye is released from the shirt is from the way sublimation is done. High heat opens up the cells in the garment for the sublimation ink to enter into. As the garment cools the cells close locking the colour in. That's why when we then heat press a transfer on, the heat reopens the garment's cells allowing some of the ink to be released. The ink used in our high quality transfers is heat resistant so it is very unlikely for the ink from the transfer to bleed into the garment.

Hello! Do you know the material of the bags? Since you are familiar with it Cricut vinyl should be fine for your natural fabrics. Cricut vinyls can struggle with your more intricate designs though and I'm not sure how they perform on synthetic materials. Would depend on your heat press as well.

Hello, we only make the transfers to go onto the bags - we don't do the decorating. We sell the transfers to decorators, uniform shops etc If you are looking for a supplier who can provide you with branded string book bags send us through your details and we can put you in touch with a decorator in your area.

Cold peel transfers have a more matt finish once pressed onto the garment and, in my opinion, a nicer feel. It is also easier to press - our hot peel transfer needs to be peeled immediately after pressing so is less forgiving. The hot peel suits a lot of our customers from a productivity perspective as it it a quicker process from press to peel. Whereas we have a lot of customers who prefer the cold peel as it allows more consistency with the peel as you can set the garments aside and peel once the garments have cooled back down to room temp.

That is a great tip Shawn. Definitely worth being on the safe side with expensive team wear.

Second press is recommended however not required. The second press will give the transfer a nice natural texture that blends with the garment however if you have a large run you need to do you probably won't have time to do a 2nd press and that is totally fine. Hand feel is a beautiful, soft, semi-matte finish.

Hi Josh, great question. I will consult our lamination gurus on Monday and will get back to you asap.

Hi Josh, our team have suggested to try adding more pressure. Also check if there is any bald spots on your roller. Typically when you don't loosen the roller when you're finished with it you can get bald spots causing it to not be an even laminate.

@@velflex.australia ah alright, thanks for the help!

Hello, great question. Most of our vinyls are a 12 second press @ 150°C using medium pressure (6 bar). When pressing onto synthetic garments you can reduce the press time as synthetics heat up a lot quicker than natural fabrics. Our UltraColour digital screen printed transfers only require a 10 second press. When you order our transfers you will receive pressing instructions specific to the product ordered.
