cotton decoration inks
Recommended Applications
White or light colored fabrics in 100% cotton.
PRINTING
Print using the supplied ChromaBlast Driver program only.
The print side of ChromaBlast media is opposite the ChromaBlast logo.
For the R1800, place print side face up in the printer tray.
Mirror Image: Check this box in the ChromaBlast Driver to ensure the image prints in reverse and that text
appears correctly when image is transferred. If your image is already reversed in your graphic program,
leave this box unchecked.
TRANSFERRING THE IMAGE USING A COMMERCIAL HEAT PRESS
1. If desired, you may trim the non-printed area before transferring, leaving .25 in. margin around the
printed area.
2. Place garment on the heat press. Cover with ChromaBlast paper with image face down.
3. Press image according to proper pressure, heat, and time settings.
4. Peel the paper off the shirt while the shirt is still hot using an even motion.
5. Stretch the image area while the shirt is hot from both left to right and top to bottom to reduce the
hand.
HEAT PRESS SETTINGS
Pressure: Heavy. If using a pneumatic press, set the pressure to 60 psi.
Temperature and Time: 350°F (176°C) for 45-60 seconds
Due to variations in cotton garments and in heat presses, time and temperature can be adjusted for
preferred performance up to 400°F for 25 seconds. Some scorching may occur, but will wash out.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Store ChromaBlast media in a cool, dry area within the provided plastic storage bag. Do not remove from
