Heat Transfer Instructions
Because you can print on a variety of surfaces, you need to take all variables of the surface
into account when selecting time, temperature, and pressure. Some of the variables are:
thickness of surface,
how fast the surface absorbs heat,
coatings used on the material to create a receptive surface for sublimation inks
(ceramics, metals, etc.),
accuracy of heat press (time, temperature, and pressure).
The information listed below are only guidelines. Due to the differences in heat presses and
the various materials you will be printing on, it is not possible to give absolute figures. You
should check with your supplier for specific heat transfer instructions or experiment to find
your own preferred settings.

Then place transfer paper
face up on top of the
absorbent. Next place the
substrate face down on top
of the transfer paper.
Remove paper from
substrate immediately after
transferring for best results.
