Hi, Can anyone help?
Excited to get started printing some canvas bags but no instructions included with my heat press.. I've had a go, but prints are coming out pale..
I've been pressing at 180 for 45 seconds... (was just a guess from other websites)
Also, should I be placing anything inbetween my bags when pressing, and do I need protective paper underneath or on top of the bag..
Sorry if these are blonde questions.. but then again I am! LOL
Thanks in advance... but please hurry as sooooo excited!

If it's a standard canvas bag sublimation isn't going to work as far as I know

You're kidding me... I've just bought all the kit! I explained to BMS that I wanted to print bags...

If you got the bags off BMS then thats fine. Whichever bag it is then they have the time and temp on the site
