Properties

Gel Temp. 200° – 215°F These temperatures will partially cure the ink film. It is important to stay within this range and test. The gel temperature is CRITICAL. Too low of a temperature will result in a transfer with little tensile strength. Too high of a temperature will negatively affect the split of the final transfer.

Technical Details & Test Data

Note

Always pre-test product before doing a production run. Both lower and higher transfer temps can adversely affect physical properties as well as an adverse effect on the release of the ink transfer (split). Do not dry clean, bleach or iron printed area.
