Usage & Setup Tips 

If you're switching to Starbase Fine Grain Powder, follow these simple steps for best results:

✅ Keep your RIP software profiles the same – Whether you're using Wasatch or another DTF RIP, no need to change your existing image configurations initially.

✅ Fully clean out your previous powder – Old and new powders cure at different temperatures. A full cleanout prevents contamination and ensures consistent curing.

✅ Load in Starbase and run test prints – We recommend curing at 105°C (221°F) for 60 seconds in your dryer. Start here, then fine-tune for your machine.

✅ Wash test before full production – Always confirm your results with a wash test to ensure proper bonding and durability.

✅ Heat press settings:

• Press at 285°F for 10 seconds with 20 lbs. of pressure
• Follow up with a second press (cover press) for 4 seconds to lock in the finish
