Sublimation Transfer Guide

1. We recommend the use of Sawgrass Sublimation inks with this type of paper.

2. The shiny side is the side to print onto.

3. This paper can only be used on items that have a sublimation coating on them or 100% Polyester Fabrics.

4. When using fabrics, press them for 8-10 seconds so you have a clean flat surface to print onto and this will remove any moisture. The fabric should be cool before applying Sublimation Transfer.

5. Print onto the sublimation paper (mirror image) and wait for it to dry, approximately 1 minute.

6. Trim around your design to remove excess paper.

7. Place the sublimation paper onto the garment print side down. Cover with a Teflon sheet.

8. Heat press at 190C - 205C.
