| Heat Press Instructions |
Hover transfer under open heat press for 10 seconds to dry excess moisture. *This garment is NOT Sublimation Certified.1. Cover the bottom table of the press with a sheet of protective paper. 2. Secure transfer to the garment using ProSpray. 3. Place garment face up, with attached transfer face down, on top of protective paper on bottom table. 4. If needed, place a sheet of protective paper between the layers of the garment to prevent sublimation blow-through. 5. Top with protective paper and press according to time, temperature, and pressure above. If your design includes black and very dark colors, add 10 seconds to press time. Application notes: Press and paper lines can be an issue when pressing shirts. Click here for a video showing how to feather or "deckle" the edge of the transfer. Dark colored shirts are not suitable for sublimation. You can image dark black to a red shirt, but black shirts will just absorb the ink. Most darker color Vapor Apparel shirts are not "Sublimation Certified" by Vapor for two reasons: 1. The darker garment has a big impact on the color reproduction of sublimated images. 2. Even when printing very dark or black graphics on a royal blue or Mars red shirt for example, the dyes in the shirt that are subject to the heat will release (they sublimate out) and the shirt will show an obvious faded-looking rectangle from the press platen. One can see the dyes on the spent sublimation release paper. There is no solution to this problem with sublimation. |
