pressing hats

[Paul]

Hi all,
I just ventured to pressing hats. and biggest issue i found is darker colour hats leave that shine on the fabric of the hat.
I use piece of fabric as a protector between hat and the heat element but this shine is still there. has anybody got any tips, tricks to avoid it pease?

Do you mean hats or caps? Are these sublimation?

Hi Paul. Try putting a small piece of silicon mat between the element and the transfer/cap. I use a thin silicon that I bought in a craft shop.

I had this at first but since using Siser and a much lower temp I do not get it anymore.

Try reducing your temp down to the lowest you can "get away with".

If not I would say grab some Siser and press for 5 seconds

I am using DTF guys. 150C for 10 seconds
