Decorating shorts sleeves with custom heat transfers
Sep/100
The easiest way to apply a heat transfer to a sleeve is using a cap press. The cap press allows the seam to hang under the platen making for a quick, simple application. Simply place the layer you are pressing on your platen, position the transfer (be sure it is no taller or wider than the cap platen) and press.

If you do not have a cap press, the application is just one added step on your t-shirt press. Put the sleeve on the platen, but to deal with the underlying seam you will need to use a print perfect pad sold through Stahls’ ID Direct (http://www.stahls.com/) or a mouse pad. Cut the pad to fit in the sleeve, large enough to be a base for your print. Press.

Sleeves are a great add-on, use ribbons, flags or even numbers!
