[[File:HeatPress.jpg|thumb|Our heat press machine!]]
For those using the heat transfer vinyl, you will also need to use the heat press in order to ensure your design adheres to the fabric of choice. Some people like cutting their designs into heat transferrable vinyl so they can heat press Keep in mind the designs into a T-shirt or tote bag.following when using this machine:
#Turn on the heat press by flipping the switch on the left side of the device;
##The digital display will light up, depicting the device’s current temperature and the device’s goal temperature.
##The machine will typically take about 30 minutes to heat up to its target temperature of 180°C.##Once the goal temperature is reached, the machine is ready for use.(The machine will start beeping when it reaches the target temperature; give the handle a quick tug in order to stop this.)
#Pull the roll-out bed towards you
#Place your material on the bed, ensuring the surface is flat.
#A timer will automatically start (ask a CaTS for time suggestions based for your material). The lever will pop back open automatically when the timer finishes.
=== Human Safety === * When in use, '''''DO NOT TOUCH''''' the heat bed as it is very hot and '''''WILL BURN YOU'''''. === Machine Safety ===
* Always make sure that you use the Pro Grade Non-Stick Sheet
