CANVAS/TOTE BAG SUBLIMATION
Supplies needed:
- sublimatable substrate (bag)
- sublimation transfer
- teflon or scratch paper
- repositionable spray or heat tape
Heat press settings:
- temperature - 400 degrees F
- dwell time - 45-60 seconds
- pressure - medium to heavy (firm)
Note: The recommended settings above may need adjustments for best results.
Settings will vary depending on the heat press brand and model ink and paper
and atmospheric conditions.
2nd Note: To adhere the transfer to the substrate use repositionable spray
on the transfer instead or in addition to heat tape.
3rd Note: Placing a piece of paper inside the bag prevents bleed through (ink migrating to the other side of the product).
Layer the press from the bottom pad to the top heat platen as follows:
1. scratch paper
2. substrate with scratch paper
3. transfer
4.scratch paper
Tips:
- If the image of the final product appears light increase the pressure or
the dwell time slightly (10-20 seconds).
- If the image on the final product appears blurred or substrate appears
yellowed reduce the dwell time slightly (10-20 seconds).
- When sublimating a double-sided substrate sublimate one side allow to
cool and then sublimate the other side. Use fresh scratch paper
under the substrate to eliminate any degassing of the first image onto the
press.
