The array of
colors in the SEF flex and flock film product line opens the door to endless
design possibilities. While many different films can be heat pressed on top of
one another, you should follow the few simple rules listed below for
trouble-free applications.
· You can overlay any polyurethane flex film with any other flex
film in the SEF heat transfer film product line.
In
the design pictured, FlexCut Sweet Black was heat pressed first for five seconds; then FlexCut Sweet Yellow was applied over the black for five seconds. Finally, Flexcut Sweet Red was pressed for 15 seconds. The
total time for heat pressing amounted to 25 seconds.
|
·
While you can heat press a flock film over any polyurethane flex
film, never apply any other heat transfer film over any flock film, nor should
you apply any flex or flock film over a puff film.
In
the applique above, VelCut Neon Pink is heat pressed over the initial layer
of FlexCut Sticky White.
|
·
When overlaying multiple layers of film, heat press each layer
for five seconds except the last layer which you should press for 15 seconds.
Avoid exposing heat transfer films to protracted periods of heat, which can
compromise the adhesion of the applique to the garment.
·
Limit
the total number of layers of heat transfer films to four films.
Four
different films were used to create the graphic pictured. FlexCut Sticky
Black was heat pressed for five seconds. Next, FlexCut Sticky Green and
FlexCut Sticky Yellow were each pressed for five seconds each. The fourth
layer of FlexCut Puff White was pressed for 15 seconds. The total time
for heat pressing was 30 seconds.
