Now that we have our cotton shirt prepped with the GO Fuze solution we can remove the tape markers (you can reuse the tape until it loses its stickiness).
I have my heat press heating up to 365 degrees. GO Fuze calls for 335 to 365 degrees, depending on your setup.
Once my heat press is up to temperature I close it for about 30 seconds to preheat the base. Once the 30 seconds is up I am going to open it.
This process requires medium to heavy pressure. I found that the Auto Press doesn't do as well as my regular heat press and I don't know that you can apply enough consistent pressure using the EasyPress.
First, we need to dry the solution. I am going to thread the shirt onto the heat press so just the front of the shirt is on the heat press. You do want to add protective paper between the shirt and the heat plate and another sheet of protective paper on top of the shirt. Then add the piece of polyester that came with the GO Fuze kit on top of the paper.
Now we're going to close the heat press, without the sublimation print on the shirt. This is to dry the solution for about 15 seconds. During this step you will likely see some steam, that is the moisture we want to leave the shirt.
Next, we are going to open the heat press, and remove the polyester, and the paper. The fabric may still be a little moist at this point so I am going to let it cool for about 10 seconds or so and let that moisture evaporate. This step will make sure we don't get any ghosting with our sublimation print.
First, we're going to dry the solution, and that'll be about 15 seconds. Next, we're going to add the sublimation print and sublimate, and that'll be 70 seconds. So my heat press is heating up, so let's head there and finish the shirt.
