Shirts
The presence of moisture in your fabric can lead to bleeding of the
image. Remove moisture by pre-pressing your shirt for 10 seconds.
Use Teflon sheets between the front and back of the shirt to prevent
the inks from penetrating to the other side of the shirt. If dye residue
from your heat press is being deposited on your shirts at any time,
heat press a paper towel or similar absorbent material to remove it.
Using a lint brush before pressing can greatly reduce lint or debris on
the shirt.
MOISTURE & HUMIDITY PROBLEMS
The addition of moisture to the sublimation process can cause unwanted
results. Under normal circumstances, the small amount of moisture that
can accumulate in your paper is absorbed directly into the transfer
substrate; however hard substrates like metal and ceramic are unable to
absorb excess moisture. Some of problems that are attributed to
moisture include: color shifting (colors lose accuracy), bleeding of the
image, and uneven transfer of solid filled areas
To avoid these problems
Keep your paper in a dry place.
If you suspect moisture, set the paper on your press for a few
seconds. Do not press it. Just expose it to the warmth. The
heat radiating from the press should help evaporate most of the
moisture.
To eliminate moisture in fabric, press the fabric for 10 seconds
before doing the heat transfer.
Use an absorbent cloth or fresh, non-textured paper towel
behind the transfer sheet to absorb the moisture.
