Selecting Paper - Sublimation
For information on selecting the appropriate paper to use with your SubliJet IQ™ inks, please check our
website at
http://www.sublimation.com/support/
or call your authorized SubliJet reseller. While the use of
copy paper or other inkjet paper will not harm your printer, the transferred results may be light, splotchy, or
uneven. Some papers may even stick to the surface or leave a visible residue.
Heat Transfer Instructions - Sublimation
Because you can print on a variety of surfaces, you need to take all variables of the surface into account
when selecting time, temperature, and pressure. Some of the variables are:
thickness of surface,
how fast the surface absorbs heat,
coatings used on the material to create a receptive surface for sublimation inks (ceramics, metals,
etc.),
accuracy of heat press (time, temperature, and pressure).
The information listed below are only guidelines. Due to the differences in heat presses and the various
materials you will be printing on, it is not possible to give absolute figures. You should check with your
supplier for specific heat transfer instructions or experiment to find your own preferred settings.
