IMPORTANT
We thoroughly test each of our products on various substrates using different
transfer equipment. However, it is
impossible for us to duplicate all variables using all substrates and transfer
equipment. Therefore, it is essential that you
test the paper prior to production using your equipment, methods, and substrate
material. Heat presses vary in accuracy.
Conduct tests to determine the best time and temperature to use with your
equipment. Please keep in mind that the
Seller's and Manufacture's maximum obligation shall be to replace any paper that
has proven to be defective. Neither the
Seller nor the Manufacturer shall be liable for any injury, direct or
consequential, arising out of the use of, or inability to
