Transferring images from the film to the media
using heat
Fixing the Ink
Applying Powder and
Heat
Before the printed film dries, apply powder and heat
the film. This section explains the procedure when
using an oven.
Important:
c
Do not apply powder near the printer to prevent
powder from getting inside the printer.
A
Remove the printed film from the platen while
it is flat.
Important:
c
Tilting or raising the film straight up may
cause ink to drip.
Post-processing
B
Place the film with the printed side facing up in
a tray or other container that is larger than the
film.
C
Sprinkle powder over the entire printed
surface.
Note:
❏ We recommend being generous when
sprinkling the powder on the printed area, as
it will not transfer well if some areas are not
covered in powder.
❏ Use a sieve or a powder shaker to apply the
powder evenly.
D
Lift the film and flick it with your finger from
the back to remove excess powder onto the tray
so that the powder evenly covers the printed
area.
Note:
We recommend removing as much excess powder
as possible. If powder remains outside the printed
area, it may melt and remain when the image is
transferred in the next process.
E
Heat the film in the oven.
Use the following values as a guide.

Heat Transfer for Film

Place the heated film and media in the heat press, and

use an oven to perform heat transfer.
