Yes - n00bie question lol
Im about to do my first ever sub-dye t shirt, up till now ive been using my versacamm and c-print transfer vinyl.
My question is...how do i do it LOLOLOL?
do i reverse print, place on shirt and press. I press my vinyl at 170deg's for 20 secs, is it the same for paper or will i see smoke come from my press? I have a Teflon sheet as well, do i use this?
cheers guys
Dave

Mirror print is correct. I press at 195 for 55 seconds

Yep, mirror image, place down on t-shirt, lay teflon sheet over top to cover t-shirt and press. We do ours at 185 for 65-70 seconds - sometimes 195/200 can cause a scortch mark on the tshirt if press is overly hot.
