Stahls Finish Release Paper (25 Sheet Min)
Professional 16" x 20" release paper designed for heat press applications, helping protect the upper platen while producing a smooth, matte finish on heat-applied graphics.
Characteristics
Stahls' Finish Release Paper – 16" x 20" is a professional heat printing accessory designed to provide a protective barrier between the heat press platen and the decorated garment during heat application. It is particularly useful when a smooth, matte finish is desired on heat-applied graphics.
Placed over the transfer or heat-applied graphic during pressing, Finish Release Paper helps protect the upper platen from adhesives, inks, and other residues that can accumulate during production. Keeping these contaminants away from the platen also helps reduce the possibility of residue transferring onto subsequent garments.
Finish Release Paper is especially useful during a finishing or repress step when a decorator wants to create a more consistent, professional surface appearance. The paper provides a convenient way to finish compatible heat-applied graphics while helping maintain a cleaner heat press working surface.
The generous 16" x 20" sheet size provides coverage suitable for standard full-size heat press applications. Finish Release Paper is sold with a 25-sheet minimum, making it a practical choice for professional apparel decorators and everyday heat printing production.
