PRINTING AND DESIGN INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions are based on the use of sublimation paper, sublimation ink and
sublimation compatible printers.
It is important to ensure your designs are printed correctly before pressing. Please follow
these step-by-step sublimation instructions.
1.
Create the logo, literature, or image that you wish to print onto your product. This can
be done on any design or word processing software. Make sure the size of the image
will fit the product you are printing onto.
2.
Once you are ready to print, set the print option to mirror the design, this is essential
to ensure your design sublimates onto the product correctly. This setting can often be
found in the Printer Settings menu and under the Page Layout section.
3.
Ensure the inks are fully functioning with your printer; a test print of your design can
be done on regular plain paper however the colour depth may appear different. If you
are happy with the quality of the print then move to the next step, if not check your
printer maintenance options.
4.
Load the PixMax sublimation paper into the ink jet printer with the whitest and
brightest side facing to the front. This is important to make sure the design will
transfer onto the product at the pressing stage.
5.
Once the image has printed allow 45 minutes for the ink to dry as it will appear very
wet and can smudge easily. Trim the sublimation paper around the design but be
careful not to trim too close. The design can now be used with the heat press.
6.
In order to achieve the ideal print, we advise testing your prints on scrap material
or unused products first, adjusting the controls to find the optimum temperature,
pressure and time.
