I'll try this again....tried posting early and it didn't seem to post?
For the new decorators that are getting started with heat press vinyl this job I just completed can be a learning experience for you.
I had 75 bags to print with the size of the print 2.5"x5". Weeding was terrible but that is a different story.
I quickly realized this was not going to work very well on the 16x20 heat press so I used my hat press instead. Still didn't want to work right so I cut a piece of mousepad to fit inside the pocket to help lift the bag to print easier. Worked like a charm after that.
So:
1. If you currently just own a regular heat press consider purchasing a hat press even though you may never use it for pressing caps. I use mine all the time for prints other than hats.
2: Keep extra mousepads around to cut to use as pillows under your work to help with printing...or purchase some of the pillows like Lou sells.
3: Always think outside of the box when you come against a problem that seems impossible to get around. There is always a fix with a little ingenuity and sometimes a lot of outside thinking to get the job done.
Hope this helps some of the new decorators out there.
