 Sublimation Pressing Instructions 

Sublimation transfers are a great way to add full color designs to your garments without the hassle of weeding vinyl. They are ready to press and need to be applied to LIGHT COLOR fabrics that have a polyester count of 60% or higher. (THEY CANNOT BE APPLIED TO 100% COTTON). The higher the polyester count the more vibrant your transfer will appear when applied. A sublimation transfer that is applied to a 60% polycount base will look more vintage like and not be as vibrant. Please note that sublimation transfers do not print with white. So whatever base you use to transfer to will show the color of your garment. Example: If you have a ghost on your transfer and you transfer it to a light gray shirt the ghost will look light gray. 

• 400 degrees 
• Medium PRESSURE
• Press your garment 10 seconds to remove wrinkles and moisture before laying down your transfer
• Place your transfer face down onto your garment. Cover with parchment paper. 
• Press for 45 seconds
• Peel Paper off of your garment  

We highly recommend using a heat press. If you are new to transfers we recommend testing a small piece. Heat presses may vary in temps and pressure. Sizes are as follows and may vary slightly based on the design and width/height. We are not responsible for misapplication. 

Care Instructions:

Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.
