Sublimation Pressing Instructions

These times & temperatures are a good place to start, but you may have to adjust due to different heat presses and product quality. Sublimation DOES NOT print White. Any White on the image will be the color of the shirt you are pressing on. Sublimation images must be pressed on at least 50% polyester materials. 100% Polyester materials work the best and have the best color quality. White or light colors work the best with sublimation. 

Suggested Pressing Info:

• 55 - 65 seconds
• Temperature 385 - 425° F
• Pressure (medium)
• Peel transfer while hot. Press with substrate facing up and transfer paper on top.

As a side note, colors may vary. Colors will look lighter on the transfer than they do after you press.
