PRINTED Heat Transfer Vinyl Transfers:
Transfers are printed on commercial printers with Eco-Solvent Inks. They are Cut Out, Weeded and Ready To Press. The carrier sheet is already applied to the design. All you have to do is remove the backing and apply to your shirt. These transfers can be used on any color material – Dark or Light Colors. They adhere to 100% Cotton, Poly/Cotton Blends, 100% Polyester, Lycra/Spandex, Leather, Canvas and more.
APPLICATION
*Pre-Heat fabric 3-5 seconds, this will withdraw any moisture that may be in the fabric that could cause the vinyl to peel after washing. Remove backing sheet from your transfer. Leave top carrier sheet in place and secure your design on your blank. Cover with a Teflon sheet or butcher paper or parchment paper. Press for 15 seconds at 315F at Medium/High Pressure. Remove transfer and carrier sheet and discard. I like to place my Teflon sheet back over my design before I remove it from the press and give it another quick 5 second press. Shake out your shirt and you are good to go.
SUBLIMATION Transfers:
We use the highest quality sublimation printers, inks, and paper. They have been tested and proven to provide the best quality prints onto sublimation materials when applied properly. Sublimation ink, when heated, turns into a gas that actually embeds itself into the fibers of blanks made with polyester or blanks that have a polyester coating. Colors will not run or wash out when applied correctly
Sublimation transfers use a specific translucent sublimation ink. Before you press the Sublimation transfer will have a light and faded look. The heat application is what gives you the vibrant colors.
Sublimation is NOT vinyl. When applied correctly, the image actually becomes part of your blank. There will be no feel, no hand, no texture. You will not feel the image and it will not peel or crack.
Sublimation transfers MUST be pressed onto materials that are made for sublimation. Examples include: sublimation coated mugs and tumblers, neoprene goods, 100% polyester soft goods, etc.
Sublimation ink only adheres to the polyester fibers in a material. Using 100% polyester materials will absorb the most ink from the transfer making the image the most vibrant and consistent.
Pressing onto less than 100% white polyester fabric will cause the image to have a vintage or faded look. This is because the ink does not permanently adhere to non-polyester materials and will wash out. Fabric with at least 65% polyester content is recommended and using 100% polyester will give you the best results. Anything less than 100% polyester will give you a faded/vintage look.
The blank you use should be white or very light in color. The image WILL NOT show up on black or dark colors. White, very light gray or beige works best. You can use other light colors, just keep in mind that the colors of the inks in the transfer many appear different once pressed on colored fabric.
White is not a color, it is a void. On these transfers there will not be any actual white printed. If there is white in the design it will become the color of the fabric your apply it to. WHITE does not print with sublimation. The white on your transfer paper is NOT ink, it is the actual paper. Therefore, if there is any white color on the design, it will end up being the color of the material you press it on. For example: If your image has white clouds, pressing on a light pink shirt will give you pink clouds.
Understand that to have a finished product closest to what you see here on the listing you should use white blanks.
Sublimation transfers MUST be heat pressed on the blank using medium to high pressure, 400 degrees. Time is determined by the blank you are using. Consult the instructions provided by your blank supplier. Most T-Shirts are 60 seconds. You CANNOT use an iron or easy press on these transfers.
Sublimation Directions For Shirts
For all other blanks, please follow the instructions provided by your supplier.
Preheat your heat press to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Adjust your press for light/medium pressure.
Lint roll your shirt and prepress your shirt for 5-10 seconds to remove any moisture (lint rolling is important especially if using white shirts to prevent tiny blue dots on your shirt after pressing.)
Use a sheet of butcher/copy/parchment paper in the inside of your shirt to prevent the image bleeding through
Place your transfer printed side down in the location that you want it on your shirt. You can use heat tape or repositionable fabric adhesive spray to keep your transfer from moving. (Only use heat tape!)
Cover the whole shirt with a sheet of butcher or parchment paper and press 400 degrees for 60 seconds
After pressing, remove the top paper and sublimation transfer in one quick move trying not to let the image touch your shirt to prevent ghosting and extra ink getting on your shirt.
Some shirts we recommend: Bella Canvas 3880 in White and light colors, Gildan G420 in White & Sports Gray (these are thin shirts), Jerzees 21M - In white or any other light colors and even Walmart has some 65% and greater polyester shirts you can use.
