Sublimation paper is a special printing paper that absorbs and retains ink. When placed on a blank surface (such as a T-shirt, vinyl sheet, mouse pad, or other material) and heated, the sublimation paper will release ink onto the material. This process allows you to print indirectly on all different materials and products.

Printing:
Mirror the image you would like to sublimate. Print mirror image with a sublimation ink printer. For best results use use an inkjet printer with sublimation ink to print on the white side of the sublimation paper.

Transfer directions:
For shirts and materials - for best results, sublimate on polycotton materials. Pre-heat press for 10 seconds. Place image on the desired area, smooth out the surface and make final alignments. Press for 90 seconds at 190 degrees Celcius. Peel off the printed sheet immediately after press cycl has completed.

For mugs and ceramics - always ensure that the item you would like to use is suitable and prepared for sublimation printing. Pre-heat the mug press with an old mug inside until it reaches 180 degrees Celcius. Place image on the desired area and align. Press for 200 seconds at 180 degrees Celcius. Peel off the printed sheet immediately after press cycle has been completed. Place mug in cold water to prevent smudging.

How to sublimate a shirt
Step 1: Make your design on the computer and mirror it before printing.
Step 2: Printing, only use an inkjet printer with sublimation ink to print on the white side of the sublimation paper.
Step 3: Wait for the image to dry, and preheat the fabric to remove wrinkles and moisture.
Step 4: Preheat the hot press to the temperature you set, adjust the pressing time appropriately, make the printed image face the fabric and start the pressing process.
Step 5: Remove the heat press and peel off the transfer paper.
