Heat Press Temperature Guide: Sublimation and HTV

If you are looking for the ultimate heat press temperature guide, you have landed in the right place! I get questions every single day about heat press and EasyPress settings.

Heat Press Temperature Guide

What temperature and time are right for the surface you are pressing? Whether you have a heat press, EasyPress, mug press, or convection oven, I have the answers you need for getting your projects right the first time!

Finding HTV Heat Settings

First, it depends on the brand of your HTV. Second, it depends on what you’re pressing it on. I recommend going to the website for the manufacturer of the HTV you’re using.

Other HTV Instructions

Some HTV products will also have a pressure setting. This is how hard you push down if you use your EasyPress or what you set your heat press to.

Settings for Different Materials

There are often different times and temperatures depending on what you’re pressing on. Cotton might be one set of settings while polyester might be another set.

Sublimation Heat Settings

So, what is your heat press temperature guide for sublimation? Usually, sublimation does require a higher heat point.
