Tips:
- If the finished product appears scratched lighten the pressure slightly.
- If the image of the final product appears light increase the pressure or
the dwell time slightly (5-15 seconds).
- If the image on the final product appears blurred reduce the dwell time
slightly (5-15 seconds).
- If the metal appears to have a scratchy finish after sublimating reduce
the pressure.

Notes: The recommended settings above may need adjustments for best results.
Settings will vary depending on the heat press brand and model ink and paper
and atmospheric conditions.
The layers of soft paper towels achieve two goals: 1. it helps to distribute the pressure evenly throughout the substrate; 2. it helps to trap ink that is dispersed outside of the edges of the substrate if there is an overprint area or full bleed in the artwork.
