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 Door Hanger
Remove any film that may be on the surface of the door hanger. Clean off the surface of the door hanger with a cleaning cloth, all-purpose cleaner, or a can of compressed air.
Step 3. Pair the Transfer With the Door Hanger
Lay the transfer down on a flat surface with the printed image facing up. Place one side of your door hanger on top of the transfer and line it up. Take two or three pieces of heat tape and secure the door hanger to the transfer.
Step 4. Let’s sublimate!
Place the transfer and door hanger into the heat press with the transfer on top. Lay another piece of protective paper on top of the door hanger. Confirm that the heat press is at the correct temperature. Pressing times are below.
FRP Door Hanger: 80 – 90 seconds, 1 side at a time
Step 5. Remove the Door Hanger from the Press
Once the timer is done use heat-protective gloves to remove the door hanger from the press. Let cool.
Step 6. Press the Other Side of the Door Hanger - Pair the Transfer With the Door Hanger
Allow your door hanger to cool down. Lay the second transfer on a flat surface with the printed image facing up. Line up the transfer and the door hanger and using two pieces of heat tape, tape the two together. Be careful to put as little tape on the door hanger surface as possible when pressing the second side, heat tape can sometimes lighten the image and leave depressions in the coating.
Step 7. Let’s Sublimate! Press the Second Side of the Door Hanger
Place the transfer and door hanger into the heat press with the transfer on top. Lay another piece of protective paper on top of the door hanger. Confirm that the heat press is at the correct temperature.
FRP Door Hanger: 80 – 90 seconds, 1 side at a time
Step 8. Remove the Door Hanger from the Press
