Polyester Textiles
1)
Close the press to preheat the lower platen.
2)
Print the image using the iColor® Dye Sublimation Toner kit. Mirror Print.
3)
THREAD the shirt or textile onto the lower platen of the press. Failure to thread the textile will cause
the image to sublimate onto the back of the textile.
4)
Align the printed image to the substrate with the printed image on top (image facing the substrate).
You can tape the substrate to the printed transfer for additional stability.
5)
Cover the transfer with copy paper or blow off sheets.
6)
Press at 380°F / 193°C with low pressure for 60 - 90 seconds for full color images and up to 120
seconds for solid 100% K images (more time yields darker results).
7)
Open the press slowly, peel immediately and cool the substrate as quickly as possible.
Removing the polymer residue left behind on hard surfaces:
SubliClean
For most hard surfaces, the use of UniNet SubliClean film will prevent toner residue from transferring to the
substrate during the pressing process. SubliClean is available in rolls, and is used in between the substrate and
the printed transfer.
1)
Peel and cut a piece of subliClean slightly larger than the size of the substrate.
2)
Lay it flat on the substrate, then cover with the printed transfer sheet.
3)
Press as stated in the above instructions.
4)
When using SubliClean, all hot peels now become warm peels. Otherwise, it will not peel away cleanly.
5)
Not for use on fabrics or garments.
6)
The result will be a brighter, glossier image on your substrate.
STC9 Solution
Instead of SubliClean, the use of STC9 cleaning solution will remove any toner residue that may have
transferred.
1)
After the image has been pressed and peeled - Pour a small amount of the solution onto the
completed substrate and rub with a paper towel. The residue will come off rather easily.
2)
Once finished, be sure to wash off the cleaner from the substrate with soap and water before using.
Not for use on fabrics or garments.
3)
The result will be a brighter, glossier image on your substrate.
Be sure to order SubliClean or a bottle of STC9 with your Dye Sublimation kit if you plan to work with hard
surfaces!
