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 License Plate

Remove any film that may be on the surface of the license plate. Clean off the surface of the license plate with a cleaning cloth, all-purpose cleaner, or a can of compressed air.

Step 3. Pair the Transfer with the License Plate

Lay the transfer down on a flat surface with the printed image facing up. Place the white side of your license plate on top of the transfer and line it up. Tape the license plate to the transfer paper with heat-safe tape.

Note: All plates, frames, and strips require the same directions for sublimation. 

Step 4. Let’s Sublimate!

Place the transfer and license plate into the heat press with the transfer on top. Lay another piece of protective paper on top of the license plate. Confirm that the heat press is at the correct temperature. Pressing times are below. 

License plate frame strips: 60 – 75 seconds
License plate: 75 – 80 seconds
License plate frames: 65 – 75 seconds
Mini license plate: 65 – 70 seconds

Step 5. Remove the License Plate from the Heat Press

Once the timer is done use heat-protective gloves to remove the license plate from the press. Let cool.
