Printing Tips
Some substrates may require more or less press time and/or varying pressure depending on the material used.
When pressing, a longer press duration will result in deeper and denser colors. Some testing may be required
to achieve the desired result. Pressing for too long can cause an overexposed look. If more vibrant colors are
desired, do not use the ICC profile. The profile is designed for photo-realistic images. To obtain the stand alone
ICC Profile, contact your iColor dealer.
For textiles and Tshirts, the use of a threadable heat press is required, otherwise the image could sublimate
onto the other side of the textile.
In order to stop the sublimation process on ceramics, you must dunk the substrate in water or the image may
start to blur and spread as the gasses rise. For other hard surfaces and textiles, it is suggested to quickly cool
the substrate after peeling away the transfer. Do this by air cooling, or placing the textile on a cold surface
such as stone or metal to retain color vibrancy.
Overbled images can sublimate onto the plates of the heat press, so the use of copy paper below and above
your project is recommended to protect the plates of your heat press. Use of upper and lower covers is also
suggested.
If you are using tape to secure your image to the substrate, make sure the tape is not covering any part of the
transfer, as that will lead to inconsistent results. Heat resistant tape is suggested.

Consumables
Only use genuine UniNet iColor® consumables. The use of incompatible supplies (toner, transfer belts, fusers
and registration assemblies) may cause damage to your printer not covered by your warranty.
Suggested storage conditions:
Whenever not in use, be sure to store the Dye Sublimation cartridges in a dark, safe place with their plastic
drum covers. Prolonged exposure to light is detrimental to the OPC drum cylinder. The recommended range
for the temp and humidity is 40% RH to 70% RH, temp 59 to 77°F / 25°C.
