If you’re in the business of customizing apparel with HTV or heat transfer film, you’ve probably realized that your productivity depends a lot on your choice of vinyl. Some films are harder to weed than others, some take more time to press. Weeding and waiting take time and, as the old adage goes, time is money. The less time you spend weeding film and waiting for the heat press cycle to finish, the more shirts you decorate and the more money you make. That’s why our Logical Color WarmPEEL Universal is such a hit with decorators. It’s a high-tech film designed for busy shops like yours. Designed to save you time and money. And it reduces inventory headaches because it can be applied to just any fabric. In short, it’s a game-changer.

Cutting and Application Instructions
WarmPEEL Universal is a flexible flex film. It's easy to use, but the instructions may vary depending on what kind of fabric you're decorating. One thing that's constant is the cutting instructions. Always load the film glossy side down. This is a thin film so you can cut it with a standard 45° blade. Start with about 70 grams of force, cut a test pattern and adjust accordingly. If you're using a Vinyl Express Qe or Q Series or a Graphtec cutter, start with the force set at 13. Cut a reverse or mirror image of the intended design. So how about those time and temperature settings?- For application on cotton, you can set your heat press to 320° F (160°C) with medium-firm pressure and press it in only 3 seconds. Peel warm (wait three to five seconds).
- For cotton/polyester blends, use medium pressure and press for 4 seconds at 300°F (149°C). Peel warm. Or, if you prefer, 5 seconds at 265° F (130°C) for heat-sensitive or sublimated garments.
- For Polyester and acrylic, use light pressure and press for 5 seconds at 300°F (149°C). Peel warm.
- For Nylon, pre-press the area for 5 seconds. Then press your transfer with light pressure for 5 seconds at 302°F (150°C). Peel warm. Cover the transfer with a Teflon sheet or silicone Kraft paper and re-press for 10 seconds.
