instructions
Step 1. Get Your Heat Press Ready
Turn on your heat press. We recommend pressing all of our products at 385°F / 195°C. Be sure to lay a piece of protective paper on the bottom of the press.
Step 2. Prep Your Photo Panel
Peel film from the surface of your desktop panel. Next, clean the surface of the product with a cleaning cloth, all-purpose cleaner, or a can of compressed air.
Step 3. Pair the Transfer with the Photo Panel
Lay the transfer down on a flat surface with the printed image facing up. Place the white side of the panel face-down on the transfer and line it up. Take two to four pieces of heat tape and secure the board to the transfer.
Step 4. Let’s Sublimate!
Place the transfer and photo panel in the heat press. Lay another piece of protective paper on top of the panel and transfer. Confirm that the heat press is at the correct temperature. Pressing times are below.
Hardboard Desktop Panel: 1:20 – 1:30
Step 5. Remove the Panel from the Heat Press
Once the timer is done use heat-protective gloves to remove the message board from the press. Let cool.
Enjoy your new desktop panel!
