The recommended pressing temperature for dark transfer paper varies depending on the specific brand and type of paper you are using. However, a general guideline is 320°F (160°C) for most dark transfer papers.
Here are some additional factors to consider:
- Transfer Paper Type: Some dark transfer papers are designed for specific fabric types or printing techniques. Check the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended pressing temperature.
- Fabric Type: The type of fabric you are transferring to can also affect the ideal pressing temperature. For example, delicate fabrics may require a lower temperature.
- Pressing Time: The duration of the pressing time is crucial for proper adhesion. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended pressing time, typically between 10-15 seconds.
Always test a small area of your fabric with the transfer paper before pressing the entire design. This will help you determine the optimal pressing temperature and time for your specific project.
