For best results, all projects should be allowed to dry overnight prior to heat setting. Rushing the drying process may lead to issues such as undercured ink, poor adhesion, or ink cracking after washing.
Please see the fabric types below to determine the recommended temperature and time to properly heat set your project.
- 100% Cotton: 300°F (149°C) for 1 minute
- Triblend: 300°F (149°C) for 1 minute
- Polyester blend: 300°F (149°C) for 40 seconds
Always use a piece of parchment paper to cover your printed project when heat setting whether doing so with a heat press or iron. This will prevent the ink from sticking to the heating element and to ensure even heat distribution. Use of alternative paper (e.g., copy paper, etc.,) is NOT recommended.
Speedball FLEX Inks are not pure process colors. This guarantees the highly opaque performance but will require artists to experiment when developing their own custom palettes.
