quick question: when applying the vinyl, what temperature does the machine work well at? and for how long? I've heard so many different numbers, i just want one. haha
Hi Howard! If you are looking for custom logos, we offer a variety of services in which the transfers arrive ready to apply with just a heat press. You can learn more here: www.stahls.com/custom-cut-digital-services
It's a lower platen cover - it comes with the sleeve/leg platen. For other sized platens - you can find those here: www.stahls.com/heat-press-lower-platen-cover
I sublimate my own designs n heat press at 400* at 45 seconds on 100 % poly performance wear.. Will this silicone pad prevent any scorching at that temp n time ?
This is cut only heat transfer vinyl. The red material is attached to the clear carrier. Once you cut and weed away the excess vinyl all that is left is your design and the clear carrier.
The Kraft paper is closer to parchment, although it is thicker and our is lightly coated with a non-stick treatment. Please visit www.stahls.com/kraft-paper-cover-sheet for more information.
@Stahls' TV Will this flexible application pad work with 20% Spandex and 80% Polyester for swimwear etc? And if so is it possible to order from outside the US`?
That was for demonstration purposes - the non-stick cover sheet creates a more shiny finish to the transfer while the kraft paper has a more matte finish.
Fantastic information that I have never seen anywhere else. Thank you sooo very much!!
How much more did you have to bump up the degrees when using the flexible application pad??
We recommend starting with 5 degrees and going from there.

Some people use no cover sheet for the first application press.
We always recommend using a cover sheet to protect your garment in case there is anything on the upper platen you're not aware of.
How thick is this pad?
Hi Melinda. The cover sheets at 6 mil thickness.
Great tips!

We don't recommend using the silicone pad with sublimation. Just make sure to get garments specifically made for sublimation.
does the heat square not go away or something?
perigosu if the item is scorched, the lines will not go away.

But you pressed the vinyl FIRST with the Kraft paper.... then pressed the same vinyl with both Kraft paper and uncoated paper...???
That was for demonstration purposes - the non-stick cover sheet creates a more shiny finish to the transfer while the kraft paper has a more matte finish.
The flexible fabric did not save our shirt from the dreaded heat press marks 🤦🏾♀️
