Sublimation Directions

 

 SUBLIMATION READY TO PRESS DESIGNS

• The sublimation transfers ONLY work on a 50% or more POLYESTER garment.
• The shirt may be a blend containing cotton but the Polyester must be 50% or higher.
• The higher the Polyester count the bright the image will appear.
• The transfer must be used on a light-colored fabric such as white/ light gray; pastel colors will work as well.
• Transfers DO NOT print white, SO the color of your shirt will show up as the white areas on the transfer.
• No white ink is printed onto the transfer.
• LIGHT COLORED FABRICS ONLY.
• The color of the transfer you receive may appear slightly dull.
• The colors of the print will look more vibrant once they are pressed on the shirt.
• You will need a heat press to use this transfer.
• Due to the variation in monitors and browsers, the colors on the image may appear different on different monitors

How to apply Sublimation to Shirt:

• Preheat press to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place a piece of butcher paper inside of the shirt.
• Press garment for 3-5 seconds to release moisture and remove wrinkles.
• Place your sublimation transfer face down on your garment.
• You can use heat resistant tape to hold the print in place
• Place a piece of butcher paper on top of the design (Teflon sheets are not recommended)
• Press for 60 seconds at medium to firm pressure.
• ***Please remember that all heat presses are different and may require a time/temperature adjustment.
• Peel hot
• DO NOT use the same print more than once.
