What heat press temperature setting should I use?
For the best results when working with heat transfer projects, be sure to use the right temperature. As shown in the tables below, the temperature will depend on which SINGER® MOMENTO™ heat press you're using (Smart Press, Square Press, or Mini Press), and the material and type of vinyl you're working with.
Pro Tip: If the vinyl liner is sticking to the heat plate of the press, use parchment paper between vinyl and press to prevent sticking.
Smart Press
This professional-grade heat press delivers flawless results every time.
