PRESSING INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions
Sublimation Transfers General Pressing Guide:
- Pre-heat garment for 3-6 seconds
- Lint roll the whole area of your garment where your press touches several times, especially “white and lighter garments, they have a tendency to produce little blue specs”.
- Center the transfer according to the item and cover with protective sheet
- Press for 50-70 seconds at 380-400 degrees – medium pressure
- Remove the transfer by lifting
- We recommend a protective sheet to be placed inside the shirt so the ink does not transfer to the back (non-waxed butcher paper works great).
- TO keep the design from sliding around, you can use “heat tape” to tape the design face down. Sliding can cause a ghosting (shadow) on your design.
- Every heat press is different, so you may need to adjust your time and pressure as necessary. Using a test material is recommended.
- Home irons or Easy Presses do not work (they create ghosting).
- Substrates will vary, so please follow instructions provided from the manufacture that you purchase from.
- Sublimation transfers will have a faded look to them until they are pressed.

SUBLIMATION FACTS
SUBLIMATION FACTS
The sublimation printing process
So how does sublimation work? Well, sublimation printing uses heat to essentially bring ink and fabric together as one.
First, a design is printed onto special paper. The inks that are used turn into gas when brought under heat, then combine with the fabric and permanently print onto the fabric. The effects are permanent and less prone to fading, as the ink is embedded in the fabric or substrate rather than simply laying on top like a normal print.
The process is almost like a tattoo, but instead of for your skin, it’s for your chosen product. The heat opens up the pores of the fabric, then with the applied pressure the ink cools and returns to a solid form.
The result is a permanent, full colour image that won’t crack, peel or wash away from the substrate. The process allows the ink to go from a solid to a gas without turning to liquid, a bit like dry ice. The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled by pressure.
It is completely normal for the sublimation to look dull on the transfer paper.
It is recommended that sublimation transfers be pressed on a minimum of 50% or higher polyester blend fabric. The higher the polyester count the more vibrant the design will be.
Material less that 100% polyester may result in a more vintage look.
The fabric must be a lighter color. Sublimation printers do not print white ink. Anything that shows white will be the color of your garment.
The colors shown on the listing may differ from the transfer.
Always test your heat press at different times and temperatures to determine what works best for you.
*Substrates will vary, so please follow instructions provided from the manufacturer that you purchased the substrate from.
**We are not responsible for transfers that are pressed incorrectly.
Please make sure you are using the correct material, color and press settings prior to pressing your design.

 DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS A SUBLIMATION TRANSFER
Sublimation transfer is a printing technique used to apply intricate and colorful designs onto various surfaces, particularly fabrics and substrates made of polyester or polyester-coated materials. This process involves transforming a solid dye into a gas without passing through a liquid state, allowing it to infuse into the fibers of the material and create a vibrant, long-lasting image.
Here's a step-by-step description of the sublimation transfer process:
-
Design Creation: The process begins with the creation or selection of a digital design. This design can include intricate patterns, images, graphics, and even photographs.
-
Printing: The chosen design is printed onto a special sublimation paper using sublimation ink. Sublimation ink is different from traditional inkjet ink, as it has the ability to convert from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid.
-
Preparation of Substrate: The substrate or material onto which the design will be transferred should be made of polyester or have a polyester coating. This is because sublimation ink bonds well with polyester fibers.
-
Transfer Press Setup: A heat press machine is used for sublimation transfer. The machine has adjustable temperature and pressure settings. The substrate is placed on the lower platen of the heat press.
-
Positioning and Fixing: The printed sublimation paper is carefully positioned onto the substrate, with the printed side facing down. The paper is secured in place using heat-resistant tape to prevent any movement during the transfer process.
-
Transfer Process: The heat press is closed, and the substrate and sublimation paper are sandwiched between the upper and lower platens of the machine. Heat and pressure are applied according to the manufacturer's guidelines. The high temperature (usually around 380-400°F or 193-204°C) causes the sublimation ink on the paper to turn into a gas.
-
Ink Infusion: In its gaseous state, the sublimation ink molecules penetrate the polyester fibers of the substrate. As the temperature is reduced, the gas reverts to a solid state, becoming permanently embedded within the fibers. This results in a vivid and durable image that is resistant to fading, washing, and everyday wear.
-
Cooling and Removal: After the appropriate dwell time, the heat press is opened, and the sublimation paper is carefully peeled off the substrate. The transfer is complete, leaving behind a colorful, seamless design on the material.
Sublimation transfer is commonly used for various applications, including custom apparel, sportswear, banners, home textiles, promotional items, and more. Its advantages include its ability to produce vibrant, full-color designs with excellent detail and durability. However, it is important to note that sublimation is limited to polyester-based materials, as the process relies on the ink bonding with polyester fibers.

* Transfer must be used on a tumbler that is sold specifically for dye sublimation such as these: https://bit.ly/3SenG3t
***We no longer recommend using a mug/tumbler press! They are causing moisture issues from excess pressure. If you choose to use one, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions. All tumbler transfers come with pressing instructions for a CONVECTION oven.
