Hi, I've got a 3d vacuum heat machine, The products I'll be doing will be mugs, Phone cases, plates and shot glasses.
I am just after some general advice please? I've watched so many videos and they all seem to be different.

1, Do I need to heat up the products before I set the timer going? (do I warm up the product with the picture attached)?

2, Do I attach the picture when the ink is wet or dry?

3, Do you leave to cool before removing the sub paper?

4, do I print straight from photoshop or do I change it back to a jpeg and print it straight through the printer software?

All advice will be greatly received thank you.

No, but should be room temperature

Dry, otherwise it will smudge :-)

Personal preference, some people are dunkers, others are leavers, it will all be down to your exact set up.
