---WHAT IS SUBLIMATION?---
Sublimation, or dye sublimation printing, is a process where you use a special printer, special inks, and special paper to create a design to put on a variety of blank products. You then use a heat press to transfer the design onto a specially coated product blank.
---SUBLIMATION TIPS---
- Transfers must be used on specific material that is either polyester or a poly-coated hard surface.
- You must have a heat press OR Cricut Easy Press 2 (No Iron). Specific Temperature heat and pressure need to be applied evenly and consistently for a set amount of time for chemical transfer to take place. Sublimation transfers are not iron-on transfers
- White or very light substrates are recommended only.
- When choosing fabric, 100% Polyester is best for the most vivid color output. The lower the polyester count, the lower the color output. Sublimation on less than 65% is NOT recommended.
- Sublimation does not print "white" ink. If the transfer is not sublimated on a white item, all the colors, especially white, will take on the color of the substrate.
-Dye sublimation transfers will absolutely NOT work on 100% cotton, hemp, wool, or natural fabrics. Use nothing less than 65% polyester or the image will NOT be visible.
To use on cotton t-shirts or colored t-shirts you can use a white or white glitter vinyl and then sublimate on top of that. I do not provide specific instructions for this but there are youtube videos explaining how to do use, along with a few reviews in my shop.
