2,Time: 60S
3,Pressure: low pressure
4,Before pressing need to wear silicone paper on the clothes (very important).

Print white ink
1, printing pre-preparation
(1). With high pressure to heat press clothes, guarantee the T-shirt cotton  fiber formation, with flat surface can print better image.
(2). Time: 30S

2, pre-processing before printing the image
(1)print the picture at 14cm * 17cm , the amount of treatment solution is between 20g-25g (0.7 to 0.9 ounces).
(2)Do not use too much treatment solution. For most users this is a common problem: too much processing solution will lead to washability problems because the pre-treatment layer will prevent the white ink into the cotton, the ink "floating" on the T shirt surface. As a result, the pre-treatment and the ink are washed off in water, and the image will peel off or crack. Use just enough solution to allow the white ink to print out a bright image.

(2), temperature: 330F-340F (166 ℃ -170 ℃) pressure ironing clothes
(3), time: 30s-45s
The time of 30s-45s is to observe that the treatment fluid becomes steam (smoke) during the pressing process, which ensures that the clothes are dry and the treatment liquid has evaporated.
