2. Ensure that the printing press is outfitted with a vacuum pallet.

3. Set PET Film onto the vacuum pallet and engage. (Ensure that the PET film is compatible with silicone inks).

4. Screen print the catalized STI 7935 Silicone HD Transfer ink onto the PET film.

5. Run the printed sheet through a conveyor dryer to gel the ink.

6. Load PET film back onto the vacuum pallet and print a second layer of catalized STI 7935 Silicone HD Transfer ink.

16. Lay garment on top of the transfer.

17. Engage heat press at 400°F (250°C) with low pressure for 30-35 seconds.
