9 1/8" x 10- 1/4" SUBLI-TRU FRAME for SUBLIMATION

Note: The recommended settings above for sublimation may need adjustments for
best results. Sublimation settings will vary depending on the heat press brand
and model ink and paper and atmospheric conditions.

Supplies needed:
- sublimatable substrate
- sublimation transfer
- teflon or scratch paper
- heat tape (H107)
- soft paper towel (optional)

Heat press settings:
- temperature - 390 degrees F
- dwell time - 1:10 - 1:25 minutes
- pressure - light to medium

Sublimation:
Layer the press from the bottom pad to the top heat platen as follows:
1. teflon sheet or scratch paper
2. 2-3 layers of soft paper towel (optional)
3. substrate
4. transfer
5. teflon sheet or scratch paper

Steps:
1. Remove the back easel and the glass
2. Position the substrate onto the transfer and adhere transfer to substrate
using heat tape. Do not tape too tight as it can pull off the fabric on the
back.
3. Place the transfer and substrate into the press (transfer on top of
substrate).
4. Place the teflon sheet or scratch paper over the transfer.
5. Press the items using the sublimation settings listed above.
6. Remove items from the press immediately. Use heat resistant gloves if
necessary - the items will be very hot.
7. Remove transfer from substrate.


Tips:
- If the image of the final product appears light increase the pressure or
the dwell time slightly (5-15 seconds).
- If the image on the final product appears blurred or substrate appears
yellowed reduce the dwell time slightly (5-15 seconds).
