B-250 / B-250D Cap
FH-3000D Combo/Flat/Cube
Question; Can you do sleeves, pockets using the Cap Press?
What else? Answer: Although, the Cap press is designed primarily
for caps it can do sleeves, pockets, as well as, visors, socks and
under garments. The FH-3000D, which is a 3-3/4” x 6” flat press,
perfect for the other small items beyond hats.

2
Question: How do I load a hat in my press? Answer: Place the
back of the cap under the spring tensioned hold down, pull inside
liner (also known as the linger or sweat band) out against the bill of
the hat, slide the cap over lower platen and pull to snug on the
platen.
Tip: Make sure the bill of the cap and cord is clear of the platens.
Question: How much pressure do I need? Answer: Time,
Temperature and Pressure for transfers vary – depending on the
transfer you are using. Please follow the directions provided by
your heat transfer/heat transfer paper manufacture for specific
instructions.
Tip: Always experiment when using a new supply of caps or
transfers to get best results.
Question: How do you adjust the Pressure? Where is the
Pressure Adjustment located? Answer: A small “thumb” type
adjustment control is located on the front of the machine. Turning
the wheel left offers more pressure. Turning the dial right offers
less pressure.
Question: What is the PTFE Blanket used for? Answer: It helps
prevent movement of your transfer while lowering the heat head. It
also helps prevent scorching of the nylon & poly fibers and sticking. If applying adhesive backed patches it keeps the adhesive
from oozing from under the patch from getting on the heat head.
And helps to keep the edges from curling up after the heat head is
raised and while the adhesive is cooling.
Question: Are the lower platens interchangeable? Answer:
Yes there are three different sizes available – youth, golf and ball.
Question: Can I transfer onto a 6 Panel Cap? Answer: Yes –
but because of the seam running down center of front of cap you
will need to separate your art transfer or flock design to avoid trying to
transfer into the seam. Remember– separation must be 3/8” away
from seam. (both sides of seam)
Question: Can I transfer onto a 5 Panel Cap? Answer: Yes –
PARTS
the front of the 5 Panel
Cap has noIDENTIFICATION
seam running down the middle,
therefore you can easily transfer onto the cap front.
Tip: Keep all transfers 3/8” away from seams.

TEMPERATURE & TIME INSTRUCTIONS(DIGITAL)
OPERATION

NOTE: When applying die cut, cold-peel, or sublimation transfers, the optional
transfer hold-down should momentarily (3-5 seconds) remain in contact with
the transfer after the heat platen has been released. You can also use high
temperature tape to hold these types of transfers to your substrate. This will
prevent the transfer paper from curling up on the ends and shifting the image.
For hot-split transfers, peel the transfer immediately after lifting handle. When
printing letters, the handle can be raised to its fully-open position at the end
of the time cycle.
8. At the completion of the cycle (indicated by the timer beeping),
raise the handle until the upper heat platen releases, peel transfer.
The timer will automatically reset for the next product.
7. Pull handle until the toggle bolt
contacts and locks down the
main arm. The timer begins
counting when the handle is
locked down.
6. Align lettering or design.
5. Position cap and sweat band
so that it just clears the upper
platen when the machine is
closed.
spring-loaded cap holder
1. Set the temperature, time,
and pressure to the desired
settings as instructed on
pages 2-3.
2. Remove cardboard (if any)
and fold out the sweatband.
3. Slip rear of cap under the
spring-loaded cap holder.
4. Pull the bill and cap up and
over the lower platen.
