Pressing an acrylic knit cap can seem challenging. If you follow certain steps, you can have a neatly pressed cap. Most problems occur right after pressing. A printer may peel their vinyl right away or even touch the cap. The key thing is to let it completely cool after every press. Turning your cap inside out and upside down will help avoid a "Shine" press mark on the front side of the hat. Good luck & happy printing!
-Edit 6-28-22 = The problems users are having are similar to problems we have witnessed in the past. Heat pressing requires much more attention to detail than stitching winter knit caps due to the nature of acrylic and the quality of acrylic used.
Please make sure you are using a quality cap and good flexible HTV for best results. Method has been used and proven for years and when a quality cap and quality vinyl along with proper time,temp and pressure will give you the best results.
Welcome to come get a visual & watch us make them or better yet order one from us to test during the long & cold winter season . - Good luck & happy printing!

Hi there great video, i am just wondering does it have to be teflon or could i use something else or just double up on the sheet paper, and is there a distortion on the caps when worn?

Thank you for posting! Possibly a dumb question but did you mirror the image before cutting? I will be using my Cricut to cut.

Yes. Heat transfer vinyl with words or letters will always need to be mirrored :)

Cricut is a great starter machine - Most of our clients use them - I recommend a minimum of 24 inch cutting plotter to allow greater selection of material use and not having to cut large vinyl into sheets. Best of luck & happy printing

I can see burn marks, seems like acrylic is not good for heat pressing.
@shirtmile

Not all acrylic is created equal. Usually hats priced below $2 are made of recycled material. We sell very high quality caps that work great for heat pressing. ( sold during seasons only - bulk deal available ) Good luck and happy printing

If you are using our flexible vinyl - After it is cool, when wearing it - gently pull the sides of the hat fabric forward = Problem solved! Good luck & Happy printing

Great settings - Sounds like the standard , everyone's machine is different so 350° may be 345°-354° - For best results use a temperature test strip for heat presses.

Can you do dtf on Touques?
@shirtmile
@shirtmile Год назад
We cannot give you info on DTF , as we have not concluded testing. As with any print substrate , always read application instructions. In them you will find acceptable fabric type for select print.

My hats shrink when I put it on the heat press how do I stop this from happening?
@shirtmile
@shirtmile 2 года назад
Impossible to determine the problem without knowing the brand of hats. Usually the quality of hat plays a big part in results. Heat pressing requires higher quality hats. Use a different brand, try our temps and time or lower.

I've seen hats over 2 years old just starting to show slight sign of wear(letter edge peel from ridged fabric) - We use only flexible vinyl no glitter or such..

Use only light pressure to press - Press in increments split your total time in half- (copied) -> Not all acrylic is created equal. Usually hats priced below $2 are made of recycled material. We sell very high quality caps that work great for heat pressing. ( sold during seasons only - bulk deal available ) Good luck and happy printing
