PRESS LIKE A PRO – TIPS AND TRICKS
LAY DOWN THAT WHITE BASE
Make sure you’ve got enough white underbase ink. It’s what helps the powder stick during baking—and trust us, it makes all the difference.
PEEL IT YOUR WAY
Hot peel? Cold peel? Your call! You can peel right after pressing, or wait for it to chill—both work great!
DOUBLE DOWN FOR THE WIN
Give it a quick second press using a finishing sheet. This removes any shiny glare, adds a smooth matte finish, boosts durability and gives the print a buttery-soft feel.
