Mouse pad printing made easy with SingleStep™.

Again, this laser paper offers a finished product that looks as if it’s been screen printed. When transferred onto white/light color mouse pads, it leaves no window; only the toner transfers. And, it’s weedless. It’s available in 8.5” x 11” and 11” x 17”.

To print the design, we used the OKI c831-TS LASER printer that is a CMYK printer. Simply follow directions on the instruction sheet that is included. And, we recommend using a Swingman 20 Heat Press with digital time, temperature and pressure controls.

Follow these steps to create a Mouse Pad:

-Print design in MIRROR IMAGE, so that it will end up being RIGHT READING.

-Position mouse pad onto heat press bed.

-With MEDIUM PRESSURE, heat press for 25 seconds at 330° F.

- Carefully, HOT PEEL the transfer by beginning at a corner and rolling the paper back in one smooth motion.

And, that’s it. In just 30 seconds, your customer can have a customized mouse pad.

SingleStep™ - the Latest Update

In this updated video on SingleStep™ heat transfer, laser paper, you’ll be able to see why it is one of the most requested weedless papers that RhinoTech offers. Once the design is transferred onto white/light color fabric, it leaves no window -- it only transfers the toner. The finished product looks like it’s been screen printed.

Use on 100% cotton, DriFit/polyester and 50/50 blends. And, the paper is available in 8.5” x 11” and 11” x 17”.

We used an OKI c831-TSprinter to print the image because it’s been especially designed for garment decoration. We recommend it because the results are excellent and we also sell it because of the results. When the image is heat transferred onto a Gildan t-shirt, you’ll be able to see the vivid print.

For the heat press, we recommend and use the Swingman 20 with digital time, temperature and pressure controls. A quality heat press will help you produce an outstanding final product. We’re not kidding.

THESE ARE THE STEPS TO CREATE A GREAT LOOKING DIGITALLY PRINTED T-SHIRT WITH SingleStep™ :

-Print design in mirror image, so that it will end up being right reading.

-Next, heat press the shirt for 5-8 seconds with MEDIUM PRESSURE to remove wrinkles and moisture.

-Using MEDIUM PRESSURE, heat press for 25 seconds at 330° F.

-And, then, very carefully, HOT PEEL transfer by beginning at a corner and rolling the paper back in one smooth motion.

-An extra step is position the shirt, again, onto the heat press bed.

-Add parchment paper on top and then heat press for approximately 10 seconds. This helps ensure that the design will be embedded into the fibers of the shirt.

That’s it. SingleStep™ is an easy step toward adding another dimension of customer service to a screen printing or embroidery shop with little investment.
