Self-weeding foil you can print using a CMYK or monochrome laser/LED printer. Designed to cut complex or detailed designs as it does not require weeding
B → A system: Laser-Dark Low Temp B transfer paper and Forever Flex-Soft A foil
B-Paper acts as an adhesive so that 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 rigid materials: 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 lead 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 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

TRANSFER
Trim the edges of the Flex-Soft A-Foil
Preheat the press to 140-155ºC. Once it reaches that temperature, keep the press closed for at least 30 seconds to ensure that the lower platen is hot
Cover the lower platen with protective paper
Place the Flex-Soft A-Foil with the printed side facing up and the Laser-Dark LowTemp B-Paper with the coated side facing down in contact with the foil
Cover both with protective paper
Press at 140-155ºC (standard colours) or 130-135ºC (neon and metallic colours) with high pressure for 90 seconds (A4 format) or 120 seconds (A3 format)
Open the plate and remove the protective paper
Rub evenly for 5 seconds
Separate the hot B-Paper from the A-Foil without lifting them from the lower platen. Work in a slow diagonal fluid motion
Place the garment with the printed design on the press
Press using the appropriate settings depending on the material to be transferred (see parameters table)
Peel the foil once it is cold
Repress one last time for 30 seconds with the same parameters used previously
