The Steps for Sublimation Printing Process (2)

Using a heat press, the sublimation ink can be transferred onto any desired polymer-coated substrate or polyester garment. Learning the process of digital sublimation printing takes a short learning curve and Impressions magazine and impressions.issshows.com are there to walk you through the process.

Are you looking to perfect digital sublimation on pre-sewn garments? Or do you need insight on using sublimation to create high-value photo gifts? If your clientele services athletic or team accounts, polyester performancewear can be a great upsell with a high profit margin, but sometimes can be challenging to decorate. Dye sublimation often is the answer, and Impressions offers articles on simplifying the process. Remember that for all digital sublimation techniques, a heat press is needed for curing. So brush up on your heat press printing through Impressions as well.

Sublimation is an art, and with practice you consistently can produce quality results. By applying the above best practices for preventing chipping, you can increase your business by successfully sublimating on hard-surface products.

How to choose The Best Heat Transfer Paper

how to choose The Best Heat Transfer Paper

When choosing the best transfer paper, there is rarely one paper that will work well with everything. 

The type of transfer paper you should be using depends on the substrate you will be transferring to. 

T-Shirts:

It may not be getting as much hype because “soft hand” transfers are all the craze lately. But, what a

 lot of people may not know, is that most hot peel papers can achieve a softer feel with a few small tips. 

Laser Heat Transfer Paper are is the type of paper people tend to shy away from. Laser papers may 

seem scary, but they actually have a lot of positive attributes. Once you get past finding a laser printer that

 doesn’t run too hot and you conquer finding all of the correct settings to run your laser paper through 

smoothly, you can expect to be very happy with the results. 

Laser Transfer Paper is not nearly as scary as it seems!

Also, it’s important to feed your paper where the shorter side of the paper goes into the printer first. This

ensures the printer runs with the grain of the paper.)

When printing onto transfers, it is unnecessary to print with a lot of ink. Your transfer is being transferred

onto fabric, which is textured. That texture is going to relieve some of that missing detail in the image, so

it’s not noticeable. Laser printers use toner and are not created to be photo printers, so they won’t put down

as much ink. This makes laser transfers great to avoid bleeding. Laser heat transfer papers are also very 

durable and are less likely to fade as quickly if washed correctly. 

Home Iron:

A heat press is always recommended for best results, but not everyone has access to one. I suggest using

a cold peel paper if you are using a hand iron. When having to hand iron your transfer, especially larger 

transfers, you cannot iron over the entire image at one time. I would recommend either Cold Peel or Iron

Man for home iron usage.

How to Begin Business with Heat Transfer Paper

How to Begin Business with Heat Transfer Paper As you know heat transferring allows you to create your own custom clothing, bags, mousepads and  other fabric items. Simply design the image you want, print it onto one of our heat transfer papers and transfer it onto your item. It's as easy as that! What you need: •  Inkjet or laser printer •  Artwork/Photograph •  Heat Transfer paper •  Heat press (required for certain transfer papers) or a hand iron (hand iron requires hard surface and  pillowcase) •  T-shirt or other item to receive transfer The Basics of Heat Transfer: Heat transferring begins with an image being printed in reverse (or mirrored) onto a piece of high  release transfer paper. The image is usually printed onto the paper with plastisol inks, which are flexible and durable, but normal inks also work well. The transfer is then applied to garments, mouse pads, and  other fabric surfaces, by using a heat press or a hand iron. The heat press generally works better by  allowing more heat and pressure to assist the transferring process, however, hand irons may be used as long as they can reach temperatures of up to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. The process of transferring an image from the paper to the garment typically takes 15-20 seconds with a heat press (2-4 minutes when using a  hand iron) and does not require a drying or curing process once applied. However, please refer to your  transfer papers specific instructions included with the paper for the correct transfer instructions.  Click  here for downloadable transfer paper instructions. Which Paper to Use:   There are many different types of heat transfer papers available, so it's not unusual to be confused or lost when trying to decide which one is the best for you. The three main ways to determine this is by the type of printer you are using, whether you are printing on light or dark fabrics and, finally, the size of the image. The best way to start is by choosing which is the best for your printer.

Remove the paper while HOT for a satin finish, or peel COLD for a glossy finish to the transfer.

Heat Press

Preheat press to 375º F.
Press garment for 3-5 seconds to release moisture and remove wrinkles.
Peel liner from back of printed transfer.
Place printed transfer onto the garment with the print side up and place the parchment paper on top of the printed transfer.
Set at medium to high pressure for best results.
Press for 25 seconds.
To peel COLD, wait for the transfer to cool for at least two minutes and then remove the parchment paper using a smooth, even motion. To peel HOT, wait 5 seconds, then remove parchment paper while still HOT/Warm using a smooth, even motion.
