Printing with Foils
Steps:
1. Edit your graphic so you have a transparent background.
2. Print the graphic on a colored shirt.
Foil sticks to white ink, so this application can only be used on dark

colored garment.
If there is any banding in your graphic, the foil will not cover it. Make

sure your nozzle check is good.
3. Once printed, immediately bring the garment to the heat press.
Foil does require pressurized heat; a tunnel dryer will not work.

You will want to make sure there is adequate pressure. Foil requires

more pressure than a regular image would. Depending on the type of
heat press, you will either manually or automatically increase the
pressure. If there is not enough pressure, a heat press mat can be
used.
