DESCRIPTION

B → A system: Laser-Dark Low Temp B transfer paper and Forever Flex-Soft A foil
B-Paper PRO acts as an adhesive so the Flex-Soft A-Foil can adhere to the material. You will find it in Related Products
2-step application: transfer the B-Paper to the printed A-Foil and fix them on the substrate
You will only need a laser printer and a heat press
No special toner required
Prints detailed designs in one colour
Can be applied on most textiles and some hard surfaces: cotton, polyester, blends, denim, paper, cardboard and more
Made in Germany by Forever

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

It is recommended to use a white toner Uninet or Oki laser printer
If your heat press comes with a Teflon sheet, you should remove it since it absorbs too much heat and leads to faulty results
The silicone pad must be faultless and properly glued to the lower plate so it does not move
Avoid any garment with a background or texture
Metallic colours are not compatible with the OKI ES7411WT/C711WT printer
If the temperature of the press is too low it will be difficult to separate the No-Cut B-Paper PRO from the Flex-Soft foil. If the temperature is too high, the Flex-Soft foil will wrinkle
The temperature and time values are approximate and may vary depending on the transfer press. We recommend testing beforehand
