Jersey Print Installation Guide
Before Installation:
Make sure your jerseys are clean and dry before installation. It is important to first wash them before installing prints.
Installation
- Lay your jersey on a flat surface such as an ironing board. It can help to put a piece of cardboard inside the jersey to help hold it flat during install.
- With the jersey print laid on a bench facing down, peel back and remove the backing layer from the jersey print, ensuring the print itself stays stuck to the front clear transfer layer.
- Position the jersey print on the jersey as desired. The clear transfer layer is somewhat sticky, to help the print stay in place during heating - However it is not extremely sticky, so you can easily peel the print back and reposition it before heating, if you find your first placement is not as desired.
- place some baking paper over the print once positioned. Then heat the print with a heat press or household iron, at 130-150C degrees (265-300F), for around 20 seconds,. Try and heat the print consistently.
- Whilst the print is still warm, slowly peel off the clear layer, to expose the print. The print should now be transferred to your jersey. If you find the print is not yet stuck to the jersey, re-lay the print back down and reheat further.
- Now lay the baking paper over the exposed print, and again heat it for another 10-15 seconds. This will ensure the print adheres properly.
NOTE: DO NOT apply heat directly to a jersey or to the print, as it may cause the print and jersey to melt. That is why you must place a layer in between, such as baking paper.
After Installation
If your jersey print begins lifting or peeling up at any point, simply re-cover the print with baking paper, and reheat or press it as listed above.
Some Crinkling in the wash is normal, you can apply baking paper and re-heat if necessary.
NOTE: Machine wash cold/warm only. Turning the jersey inside out to wash is advised. Do not tumble dry.
