FORMATS

Packs of 5 sheets in DIN A3 size (297 x 420 mm) or DIN A4 size (210 x 297 mm).

RECOMMENDED PRINTERS

It is recommended to use a Uninet laser printer (Ref. 038196).

PREPARATION AND SETUP

• Image in mirror mode
• Monochrome printer: 100% black
• Colour printer without white toner (CMYK): 400% composite black (100% cyan - 100% magenta - 100% yellow - 100% black)
• Colour printer with white toner (CMYW): 300% composite black (100% cyan - 100% magenta - 100% yellow - 0% white)
• Multipurpose tray

RECOMMENDATIONS

• The use of silicone sheets or pads helps distribute the heat evenly over the substrate during the transfer process
• The transfer area must be clean before applying the Forever Multi-Trans paper
• Temperature accuracy is important, so it is recommended to use a temperature indicator
• If adhesive residues remain after application, they can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol
• If the transfer result is not optimal, increase the temperature by 10 ºC - 20 ºC

IMPORTANT OBSERVATION

Mugs or other ceramic objects to which the Metallic Multi-Trans has been transferred cannot be washed in dishwashers nor can they be used in microwaves.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERAMIC MUGS

1. Preheat the press
2. Preheat the mug
3. Place the metallic Multi-Trans paper in the multipurpose tray of the printer with the coloured side facing up
4. Print the design on the metallic Multi-Trans in mirror mode
5. Place the substrate on the base of the press
6. Cut out the printed design and wrap it around the mug. Secure it with thermal adhesive tape
7. Cover the transfer paper with a silicone sheet or pad of 1 mm thickness, or use a compatible resistance with the mug
8. Press with high pressure for 180 seconds at 160 ºC
9. With the help of a protective glove, remove the mug. If submerging in water to cool, avoid sudden temperature changes that could damage the mug
10. Peel the paper off in a circular motion, from one side to the other of the mug. Do not peel from top to bottom
11. Remove any paper particles left on the mug with a cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol or acetone

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS AND METAL

1. Preheat the press
2. Place the metallic Multi-Trans paper in the multipurpose tray of the printer with the coloured side facing up
3. Print the design on the metallic Multi-Trans in mirror mode
4. Place the substrate on the base of the press
5. Cut out the printed design and place it over the printing area of the substrate. Secure it with thermal adhesive tape
6. Cover the substrate with a silicone sheet or pad of 2.5 mm thickness
7. Place the temperature indicator between the transfer paper and the substrate
8. Press with high pressure until the sensor indicates it has reached a temperature of 135 ºC
9. With the help of a protective glove, remove the silicone pad or sheet
10. Remove the substrate from the press
11. Allow the substrate to cool completely and then peel off the metallic Multi-Trans paper
12. Remove any paper particles left on the mug with a cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol or acetone
