PRESSING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE NOTE: These are guidelines only and will vary depending on heat press, paper used, and the sublimation ink. If you are new to sublimation, it may take some trial and error to find the best time and temperature to use. We recommend using a thermometer to get the exact temperature of your heat press if you are not getting satisfactory results. It may be running too hot or too cold. It is also important to use a quality sublimation paper that has a high percentage of ink transfer.
Unless otherwise stated, our blanks should be pressed in the following manner:
