About this guide
A UK reference for hobby and small-batch pressing. Celsius first, Fahrenheit in brackets, and a named source on every setting.
Heat press settings are easy to copy and hard to trust. A single “best” temperature usually hides a blend of three brands. This site shows the published examples separately, in Celsius, for people in the UK pressing HTV, sublimation and DTF on shirts, children’s clothes, totes, mugs and hard blanks.
Where the numbers come from
The lookup and the method pages use charts and instructions from Siser (EasyWeed and the speciality films), Garment Films’ UK application guidelines, Xpres sublimation and DTF guides, and Sawgrass’s sublimation press chart. Troubleshooting pages add Siser’s heat-sensitive fabric article and a Heat Press Nation note on ghosting. Each page lists the links.
Where two official pages disagree, both are shown. Siser’s glitter time is the obvious case: 15–20 seconds and a warm peel on the North America page, 15 seconds and a hot or cold peel on the EU page. The instruction in your box wins.
What we will not do
We do not invent a brand setting we cannot point at. If a film does not list nylon, the lookup says so instead of offering the cotton number with a shrug. If a chart has no pressure, the card says the pressure is not listed.
Nothing here is a promise that your press will match. Dials lie by enough degrees to matter. Siser’s published example is the EasyPress note on EasyWeed: add about 30°, written beside 305°F/150°C and read as 30°F rather than 30°C. Test on a scrap or a spare blank.
The guides were checked against those sources on 7 October 2026. Makers revise sheets. If a product page and this site diverge, believe the product page, and tell us.
