We needed to print a “one-of” so made sure to video the step-by-step process of working with RhinoCOLOR laser, transfer paper that’s available in 20 bold and beautiful colors including Neon and Metallic. This paper is a 2-step process.

The first step was to print our logo in a mirror image on the A Sheet, so that when it’s flipped over for transferring to the garment, it will be right reading. We used an OKI c-831TS CMYK printer for 100% heavy toner coverage. And, a Geo Knight DK1620S swing-away heat press with adjustable time, temp and pressure gauges.

Step 2: Preheat heat press to 290 degrees F. 

Step 3: Place parchment paper on heat press bed.

Step 4: Marry the A-sheet (Image sheet) to the coated, B-Sheet. This will be a HOT PEEL, so fold back a corner of the B sheet to make it easier to begin the hot peel.

Step 5: Place parchment paper on top.

Step 6: Heat press at 290 degrees F for 120 seconds with MEDIUM - HEAVY PRESSURE. 

*Note: RhinoCOLOR is a perfect replacement for vinyl, especially when you need to print a one color image with fine detail. This heat transfer paper is NO-WEED, so the process is expedited. RhinoCOLOR is available in 8.5” x 11” and 11” x 17”.

Step 7: When time is up, use a soft cloth to rub out any possible air bubbles.

Step 8: HOT PEEL by rolling back paper in one smooth motion across the grain. No need to pull up on paper.

THESE ARE THE STEPS TO HEAT TRANSFER IMAGE TO GARMENT:

Step 9: Trim around the edge of A sheet (IMAGE) to ensure that coating from the B-sheet didn’t inadvertently press onto the A sheet.

*Note: Same time, temp and pressure for heat transferring image to garment.

Step 10: Place shirt on heat press bed. Adjust pressure, since a shirt is thicker than paper.

Step 11: Press shirt for 10 seconds to remove wrinkles.

Step 12: Center design on shirt and place a piece of parchment paper on top.

Step 13: Heat press for 30 seconds with Medium-Heavy Pressure.

Step 14: This is a COOL PEEL, so wait 2-3 minutes before peeling. Even if you wait longer, hours longer, there will be no issue with a cool peel.

TIP: Beginning at an edge of paper, roll paper back in a smooth motion.

And, that’s it. A brilliant, glossy white on black finish.

TIP: if you would like a MATTE finish, simply place shirt, design side up, onto heat press. Add parchment paper and heat press for 10 seconds. The result looks like it has been screen printed.
