JERSEY PRINT INSTALL GUIDE
Whether it be a name and number or just a few extra sponsor logos, we've got you covered!
What you’ll need:
- Heat press (recommended) or household iron (not ideal, but possible)
- Heat-resistant transfer sheet or baking paper
- Flat, clean surface
- Your jersey print (supplied by Westeffex)
Important Notes Before You Begin
- Jersey must be clean and dry - no dirt, sweat, or fabric softener residue.
- Best applied to 100% polyester MX jerseys.
- For best results, use a heat press. Ironing is not recommended for durability.
The press
Step 1: Position the Print
1. Lay your jersey flat on a heat-resistant surface.
2. Decide the placement (usually center-back or upper chest).
3. Place the print face-up, design side facing you, with the clear transfer film on top.
4. Cover with a heat-resistant sheet or baking paper.
Step 2: Apply Heat
Using a heat press (recommended):
- Temp: 150-160°C (300-320°F)
- Pressure: Medium-High
- Time: 10-15 seconds
Using a household iron (if necessary):
- Set to 'Polyester' or medium-high heat (NO steam)
- Apply firm pressure for 20-30 seconds, covering all areas evenly
- Avoid moving the iron around - press down firmly in sections
Cool & Peel
Step 3: Cool & Peel
- Allow the transfer to cool completely (cold peel method).
- Slowly peel the clear transfer film from one corner.
- If any part lifts, re-cover and press again for 5-10 seconds.
Aftercare
- Wait 24 hours before washing.
- Cold wash only - inside out.
- Do not tumble dry or iron directly over the print.
- Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
