ALL SALES OF SUBLIMATION TRANSFERS ARE FINAL.  DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PRODUCTS, WE DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR ANY REASON.

-Sublimation Transfer are printed and ready to be pressed with a heat press.

-Sublimation transfers work by dying the fabric and will not leave a texture or raised surface. They do not ever crack or peel. These are NOT Vinyl!!

-These MUST be pressed on a minimum of 50% polyester blend. 100% polyester works the best to get the most vibrant colors. Anything less than 60% polyester will have a vintage or faded look.

-*YOU MUST have a commercial heat press for the sublimation transfers to work.

-You must put in uncoated butcher paper or uncoated parchment paper in the middle of the shirt and on top of the transfer before pressing.

-Press at 385-400 degrees for 60 seconds. Remove paper and transfer immediately.

 Note: It is completely normal for the sublimation to look dull on the transfer paper, but will press with a "POP".

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.
