Q: What are the tips for successful transfers with iXpress Mini 2 Transfer Press?
A: Three things are important for perfect transfers that last:
1. A firm, even surface. Kitchen islands, countertops, or sturdy tables work well. Ironing
boards and plastic tables are not sturdy enough for successful transfers. We also suggest
the use of our silicone mat.
2. Use the recommended settings for the iron-on and base material you‘re using.
3. Make sure you apply firm pressure during transfer.
Q: I followed the instructions, and my iron-on didn’t stick. What happened? How do I
get it to work?
A: The most common reasons for your images not sticking:
1. The press did not make full contact with the base material. This could be because of
seams, zippers, or anything else that will cause you to not have an even surface.
2. Verify that your machine is set to the recommended settings.
3. Make sure that you choose the recommended pressing time. If the settings are correct
press the front and back of material with heat for an additional 10-15 seconds.
Q: The temperature of the heat press drops when I use it. Is something wrong with my
press?
A: The press temperature may fluctuate briefly aer heating when it is placed on the
base material. This is due to the temperature dierence between the heated plate and
the base material. Do not worry, the heat press will quickly return to the selected setting.
