Heat Press Machine:
Pressing process:

• Place the logo onto your working pad/station properly
• This way you will get an even press.
• Place the label onto the flat surface.
• Now get ready to adjust the temperature thus the pressure and then start the press procedure.
• When using hot peel, remove print immediately.
• When using cold peel, wait for print to cool down first.
• Once the print is removed.
• Press print again, same temperature and timing settings.
• If glue has not sealed in certain places press it again until desired results are achieved.
• Then you will have your logo printed onto a fabric.
Vinyl Cutter:
Vinyl Cutters appear mostly like printers and function a lot more like them. They utilize a blade to trim your design into certain materials.
The software that you utilize e.g CorelDRAW and Photoshop CC to create your artwork will be exported from your PC onto the vinyl cutter. It has the ability to control the movements of the blade just as it would with a printer.
Vinyl cutters are able to trim your designs into paper, fabric, leather, cardstock, tissue paper, thermal transfer material and can go as far as cutting into balsa wood and aluminium foil.
