RVC Sublimation Ink Printed Sheets
Reminder: Sublimation Ink Printed sheets look dull. This is NORMAL. As the ink is heated the colour will come out and be very vibrant!
How to use RVC Sublimation Printed ink sheets on Polyester shirts
- Use a lint roller to prep the item you are applying to!
- The Printed image is mirrored. There is no transfer tape on this print.
- Use plain paper or butchers paper between your fabric layers to prevent ink transfer.
- Apply your design ink side down to the fabric, Transfer tape side facing up. Use HIGH TEMP HEAT TAPE to secure your design and prevent it moving. This will give you a crisps sharp image
- If using heat press, set your heat press to light pressure. Little pressure is needed
- Apply at 190 – 200 degrees for 40- 60 seconds for fabrics. The higher the temperature and time the stronger the colour will be so adjust as needed.
- Wait 24 hrs before first wash
How to use RVC Sublimation ink sheets on a Mug
- Make sure the mug is 100% clean. Use a lint free cloth.
- cut A4 sheet to fit the mug.
- Apply your design ink side facing the mug. Make sure the design is tight and use HIGH TEMP HEAT TAPE to secure your design and prevent it moving
- Press for 3-4 minutes. On a cricut mug press do not do a full cycle. We recommend 4 minutes maximum.
For all other sublimation blanks – time will vary between materials and may require testing before beginning batch production. However, we recommend press temperatures between 185-195 Degrees. Use high temp heat tape and check to ensure ink has transferred enough to the substrate. If its not ready, press a little longer until desired print is achieved
