🎨 Sublimation Prints – Application Instructions

👕 Compatible Surfaces:

• Polyester fabrics (100% or high polyester content).
  
• Poly-coated items like mugs, tumblers, keychains, phone cases, and hard substrates.
  

🔥 Heat Press / Sublimation:

• Preheat press for 2–3 seconds to remove moisture from garments or surfaces.
  
• Set temperature according to item type: typical ranges are 400°F (204°C) for fabrics and 375–400°F (190–204°C) for coated items.
  
• Apply medium pressure for the recommended time: 45–60 seconds for fabrics, 60–90 seconds for coated hard surfaces.
  
• Use sublimation paper and tape to secure your design.
  
• Peel paper immediately after pressing for hard surfaces, or remove carrier carefully for fabrics.
  

🧼 Laundering (for apparel):

• Wait at least 24 hours before the first wash.
  
• Machine wash cold inside out with mild detergent.
  
• Do not bleach or dry clean.
  
• Tumble dry low or hang dry.
  
• Do not iron directly on the design; use a protective sheet if necessary.
  

⚠️ Important Notes:

• Sublimation works best on light-colored polyester fabrics and poly-coated items.
  
• Full-color transfers require even heat and pressure for consistent results.
  
• Test on a small area if using unusual substrates or mixed-fiber fabrics.
  
• Items with metallic or cotton content will not fully absorb sublimation ink.
  

✅ Tip: Use heat-resistant tape to prevent shifting during pressing and ensure crisp, vibrant designs.
