A transfer is made up of a carrier paper and inks. When heated to a certain temperature and pressed with a significant amount of pressure for a certain amount of time, the transfer inks are passed over to the imprintable material. Some inks are adhered and embedded to the surface of the material, while others (namely, sublimation) permeate the coating of the material.

The temperature may fluctuate briefly when placed on the base material after heating. This is due to the difference in temperature of the heated plate and the base material. The temperature will return to your selected level in a few seconds. This is a normal phenomenon, please rest assured use.
