Sublimation information
This is probably one of the most visually rewarding craft skills available to you.
The vibrancy, clarity & sharpness is absolutely stunning, to the point of you have double check the item, as it looks so amazing!
Firstly sublimation ink is not the same as other printer inks. It contains coloured, suspended micro particles. These infuse with the base material. Heat and pressure are applied over a controlled time.
So guess what the factors are to ensure a good pressing? The correct base materiel is essential, then we add heat, pressure and time. A good pressing is produced when all factors are correct.
Settings
What settings are used?
A good starting point for testing in the absence of supplier setting would be;
Set your press’s temperature to 180C` / 185C`
Set your timer to 50 – 55 seconds.
Apply light to medium pressure.
Then follow the guide below. If the results are lighter than expected increase the temperature and or time. If the result is darker than expected, reduce the temperature and or the time.
For the best results, use white 100% polyester. Sublimation ink does not have white ink in its arsenal, therefore relies on the base material to produce white and lighter sections.
For a moment imagine printing your design on very dark or even black paper using an ordinary inkjet printer, the results would be disappointing, the same for sublimation printing.
• Clean the work top, and ensure the surface is flat with no bumps or lumps.
