What Do I Do If...

	Application Temperature	Application Time	Pressure	Pad
The transfer elements do not adhere to the textile	Possible Causes: too low unequal temperature distribution on heating surface Remedy: set temp exactly at 170 deg. C check the temp. with a measuring strip or heat gauge	Possible Causes: too short Remedy: lengthen the time	Possible Causes: too little press doesn't close plane-parallel Remedy: increase pressure for thick rigid fabrics	Possible Causes: too soft or too thick too hard or too thin Remedy: test the ideal heat pad
The glue runs onto the fabric	Possible Causes: too high Remedy: set temp exactly at 170 deg. C	Possible Causes: too long Remedy: reduce the time for thin fabrics	Possible Causes: too high Remedy: reduce the pressure for thin fabrics	Possible Causes: too hard Remedy: use hard felt or silicone foam
The transfer foils leave impressions on pressure- sensitive textiles such as velvet, knitwear, etc.	Possible Causes: too high Remedy: reduce temp exactly at 170 deg. C steam the fabric on the reverse side	Possible Causes: too long Remedy: reduce the application time steam the fabric on the reverse side	Possible Causes: too high Remedy: reduce the pressure steam the fabric piece	Possible Causes: too hard Remedy: switch from hard felt to soft silicone
The transfer motifs have to be applied to multi-layer fabric parts such as seams, bags, collars, cuffs, etc.		lengthen the application time, because multi-layer fabrics take longer for the adhesive to melt	select a high contact pressure	select the pad permitting optimal contact between the transfer motif and the heating plate, e.g. for pocket borders balance out the height by inserting exactly cut pieces of felt
The transfer motifs have to be applied to suede leather	pre-shrink the material = 1-2X without the transfer 10 sec at 170 deg. C in the heat press	begin with a shorter application time -- as a test	select medium pressure	select silicone foam as a pad
