Do Reflective Safety Stripes survive heat pressing?
« on: January 15, 2015, 05:28:45 PM »
We don't have a way to avoid heating the REFLECTIVE striping as we decorate these with Cad Cut.

We try to build up the platen where the image is, and let the reflective area dangle out of the heat where possible.

Does anybody have a better way?  Maybe we don't really have to worry about it....

The job in queue is that fluoro yellowish lime green 100% Poly shell, with a full winter liner.  (Looks like Scorch City to me.) 

Here's a pic with the shell in view folded over the left collar.

300 degrees at 12 or so seconds is probably safe, but I have "masked" potentially sensitive areas with cardboard strips
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?
