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.
