Description

ChromaBlast Heat Transfer Papers for Cotton A4 100 Sheets

ChromaBlast Heat Transfer Papers: A chemical connection forms between the ink and the coating on the transfer paper in a digital color imaging system. Chemical linkages between the picture and the cotton are created by a crosslink reaction that occurs where the ink and transfer paper coating chemistry come into contact. An extremely powerful and practically permanent bond is made by the crosslink. Remove the paper and the tattooed-in portion of the image of the shirt. Since there is no ink in the non-image area, the overprint area from the transfer paper does physically transfer but washes away. After one wash, the surrounding region has a very light feel and is almost undetectable.

Additionally, the finished product features a vivid, colorful graphic on the t-shirt that is unlike anything else available. Think about being able to print whatever you want, whenever you want. Imagine all of this being printed using an eco-friendly ink system on a digital desktop printer. Ideal for use by your marketing team or graphic designer right in your workplace.

The operation of the ChromaBlast system

• Use a graphic application, such as CorelDraw or Photoshop, to create or import your artwork.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Load ChromaBlast paper into your printer. The printable side is opposite the ChromaBlast logo.
2. Create or import an image into your graphics application.
3. Print from your graphics application by choosing your preferred color management method, if you are unsure how to print refer to your printer setup guide.
4. Print your ChromaBlast transfers.

TRANSFERRING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: The use of a protective Teflon sheet or parchment paper is strongly recommended for ChromaBlast transfer application when using a commercial heat press. The use of this sheet will protect your heat press and eliminate the possibility of ChromaBlast paper curling or moving prior to heat fixation.

1. Set your heat press as recommended in the chart below.
2. Place the garment on the heat press, and position the ChromaBlast paper, with the image facing down, over the garment.
3. Immediately place a Teflon heat sheet or parchment over the entire transfer.
4. Press to transfer at the recommended temperature/time/pressure
5. After the allotted time, release the press and move the garment away from the heat plate. While still hot, and with an even motion, peel the ChromaBlast paper off the garment (hot peel), and stretch the image area from top to bottom and side to side to reduce the hand on the fabric.

Cold peel transfer removal is not recommended.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Store ChromaBlast Media in a cool, dry environment. Do not remove media from protective packaging until ready to use. Once the packaging has been opened, store media in the plastic bag provided.

TIPS & INSTRUCTIONS

• ChromaBlast media is recommended for HOT PEEL transfer only. HOT PEEL – While still hot, and with an even motion, peel the ChromaBlast paper off the garment (hot peel), and stretch the image area from top to bottom and side to side to reduce the hand on the fabric.
• COLD PEEL transfer is not recommended.
• Calibrating the heat press is recommended to ensure an accurate temperature. For this procedure, temperature test strips are more accurate than the use of infrared temperature guns.
• Mirror Image ? The image becomes reversed when transferred from paper to garment. Therefore, you will need to ?flip? or reverse the image before printing it to paper. You can easily mirror your image by selecting the ?mirror option? in the ChromaBlast Driver or reversing the image in the graphics software before printing.
• If desired, you may trim the non-printed media around the printed image before transferring it to garments. Leaving a 1?4? (6mm) margin around the printed area is highly recommended for light-colored garments.
• If possible, avoid pressing any zippers, buttons, or other plastic decorations attached to the garment. The heat and pressure needed to bond the ink to the cotton fabric may cause these to crack or melt.
• If immediately after pressing, the paper is not easily peeled from the garment and resists removal because the transfer is somewhat tacky, increasing the amount of cure time.
• If immediately after pressing, the transferred image has a slick or shiny appearance, increase the amount of pressure used.
• Different cotton fabrics will exhibit slightly different results. Please test your fabric before pressing your final design to ensure desired results.
• If a large number of transfers are printed in advance of use, place printed transfers in an airtight, plastic bag to minimize curl during storage.
