Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, and on the actual garment rather than a similar scrap. Fibre content, weave, dye and any finish applied to the cloth all affect how a transfer bonds. A worthwhile test checks adhesion once cooled, stretch in both directions, and washing the way the end customer will wash it, repeated several times. Record the material, batch, garment and settings alongside the result. Re-test when the batch, garment supplier or press changes. Almost every expensive heat transfer failure is preventable by a test that takes under an hour.

Store rolls upright rather than flat or stacked under weight, keep them off the floor and away from exterior walls, and out of direct sunlight and away from presses and dryers. Leave the original packaging on until the material is needed and reseal opened stock, since the packaging is a moisture barrier. Rotate stock oldest first. This matters more in a warm, humid climate than most manufacturer guidance assumes: absorbed moisture can interfere with how the adhesive bonds even when press settings are correct. If material has been stored a long time, test a piece before running it.
