How to use Sublimation Transfers for garments:

Sublimation transfers must be used on items intended for sublimation, such as specially coated mugs, ceramics or polyester fabric.  100% polyester fabric will give the best, brightest results.  The less polyester, 50% is minimum, the more vintage, faded appearance you will receive on your garment.  It will be more dull in color and less vibrant.

You must use white or light colored garments.  The design will not show up on dark colored garments.  Any white on the design will become the color of your garment, as sublimation does not print white ink.  Be sure to always use butcher paper, never use teflon sheets.  Teflon sheets will hold sublimation ink and this can transfer from garment to garment.

When applying a sublimation transfer, set your heat press temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, the timer to 45-60 seconds, and the pressure to medium.

Using a fresh adhesive, lint-roll the surface of your garment where you will be applying your design prior top repressing to remove any lint.

Prepress your garment for 7-8 seconds to remove any wrinkles and moisture.

Add butcher paper inside your garment to ensure the ink does not bleed through to the back of the garment.

Place the sublimation transfer face down onto the garment.

Place butcher paper on top of design and your garment.

Press your garment at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-60 seconds with medium pressure.

Remove paper immediately to prevent any ghosting of the ink.

Sublimation transfers must be applied with a heat press.  They can not be applied with an iron or any type of EasyPress device.

What are Screen Print Transfers?

A screen print transfer (also known as a plastisol transfer) is an image which has been screen printed onto release paper. Instead of being directly screen printed onto a shirt or other item, the design is printed onto transfer paper, then applied with a heat press using heavy pressure.

These screen print transfers can be applied to 100% cotton, 100% polyester, and cotton/polyester blends on light and dark colored garments.

Screen print transfers must be applied with a heat press. They CANNOT be applied with an iron or any type of EasyPress because these devices do not allow enough even pressure needed to properly adhere the inks to the garment.

When applying a low heat screen print transfer, set your heat press temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, the timer to 7-8 seconds, and the pressure to heavy.  (Please note your heat press should be difficult to open and close, but not impossible to open and close.  Screen print transfers require heavy pressure to allow the inks to properly adhere to the garment.  If enough pressure is not being used when pressing the screen print transfers, it will cause the inks to lift, crack and/or peel from the garment.  The most common mistake made when pressing the screen print transfers is not using enough pressure allowing the inks to properly adhere to the garment.)

Using a fresh adhesive, lint-roll the surface of your garment where you will be applying your design prior to prepressing to remove any lint.

Prepress your garment for 7-8 seconds to remove any wrinkles and moisture.

Place the screen print transfer face down onto the garment.  (The ink on the transfer should be facing down touching the garment, not the upper portion of your heat press platform.)

Press your garment at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 7-8 seconds with HEAVY pressure.

Slowly peel off the transfer paper while the ink is still hot.  (These screen print transfers are designed to be peeled hot, not cold.)

(Optional: After pressing your transfer and slowly peeling off the transfer paper, we encourage you to reposition your garment on the heat press, lay a piece of parchment paper over the design, and pressing your garment again for another 7-8 seconds with heavy pressure.  This will ensure if there are any "cold spots" in your heat press, all areas of the design will get the proper amount of heat exposure and pressure allowing the inks to properly adhere to the garment and will prevent the inks from lifting, cracking and/or peeling.)

We do not recommend using Teflon sheets, butcher paper and/or pillows when pressing your transfer.
