With your scissors cut your dye sublimation print to size. Allow enough room for you to apply the heat transfer tape.
Use a couple of pieces of heat transfer tape to secure the print to your t-shirt.
You are now ready to bring your t-shirt to the heat press. Place a sheet of craft paper underneath the t-shirt.
Set your t-shirt on the press keeping the print centered with the press as best as possible.
Place a sheet of craft paper on top of the design.
Press at 400 degrees with medium pressure for 60 seconds.
When the press is done release the press and slowly move it away from your print.
Remove your t-shirt from the bed, be careful it will still be hot.
Remove the heat transfer tape and the transfer paper.
You have succesfully transfered a dye sublimation print onto a t-shirt!
