Dark Self Weeding is a heat applied Laser Transfer Paper for pressing onto black/dark, white or light cotton, polyester or polycotton fabrics.
Printed A-Foil
Remove all Teflon from your heat press.
Place printed A-Foil directly onto the rubber base your heat press with the glossy/unprinted side facing down.
White Booster (B Paper)
Place B-Paper on top of A-Foil with coated (plain) side facing down.
Press
Position two sheets of Seal Paper on top of the B Paper; so that the entire platen is covered (this is to prevent the edges of the B Paper from sticking to the top of your press and causing scum to soil to the top of your press and therefore transfer onto your textile when the time comes)
Press for 2 minutes at 160°c (320°f) - Medium Pressure.
When the press time has elapsed; let the initial heat disperse (5 seconds).
Peel A+B Apart
Peel the papers apart in a smooth; fluid motion, from one corner to the opposite.
