How do you decorate QX560? Show more Show less
The body fabric can be screen printed (we recommend air drying). If care is exercised then heat transfers can be applied to the dri-sacs; we recommend 140 degrees for 25 seconds. We would advise using a silicone block inside the bag when applying heat to help isolate the area which is to receive the heat transfer and to prevent fabric sticking together. Do not print over the internally taped seams and all plastic buckles and webbing should be kept away from the heat press. We do not recommend embroidery as this would compromise the waterproof characteristics of the bag.
How do you decorate QX625? Show more Show less
This has a fully removable 600d polyester front panel that can be screen printed, heat transferred or embroidered as required.
The PVC tarpaulin of the body can be screen printed (we recommend air drying).
If care is exercised then heat transfers can be applied to the tarpaulin; we recommend 110-115 degrees for approximately 35 seconds with medium to high pressure. We would advise using a silicone block inside the bag when applying heat, to help isolate the area which is to receive the heat transfer, this is to ensure all webbing and buckles aren't affected. Then place a thick heat resistant material in between the transfer and press again, this is to ensure the tarpaulin isn't affected. We do not recommend embroidery as this would compromise the waterproof characteristics of the bag.

How do you print on B445 Beanies? Show more Show less
To print the B445 Printers Beanie, care must be taken to protect the acrylic knit from exposure to heat from a heat press. This is simply done in two ways.
- Raise the cotton twill patch with a small platform, approximately 55mm x 105mm, place underneath the patch, to lift it in contact with the heat press
- Covering the surrounding knitted area adjacent to the patch, the limit any chance of scorching. See pictures below
