Tips from the Pros

 – The above are guidelines. Some items you are working with, or specific artwork may require adjustments to time, temperature and pressure.

 – Always have extra products to test the above time/temps.

 – Printing transfers in ‘vivid’ or other high saturation modes can help you get better results from your printer.

 – When in doubt, increase the time to get brighter colors.

 – When printing t-shirts more time and higher temps are more likely to damage the garment, always opt for lowest temperatures possible.

 – Use the Vapor Foam Kit ( https://colmanandcompany.com/vapor-foam-kit-teflon.html ) for all apparel to prevent lines.

 – Always make sure you buy Sublimation Coated blanks. Just because an item is white doesn’t mean it’s sublimatable.

 – Practice makes perfect, don’t expect to get perfect results when you are a beginner.

 – Calibrate your heat press – just because your heat press is new or has always worked fine, doesn’t mean it cannot fall out of calibration.

 – Be sure to check the pressure and the temperature. Owning a temperature probe https://colmanandcompany.com/RPK-PYRMTR.html is a great idea.
