Product Information

It is totally normal for your images to come out of the sublimation printer looking light. Once you press the project onto a sublimation-ready surface, the image will become vibrant and crisp. Why is my sublimation print coming out dull? Please note that these are general guidelines and tips, and you may need to experiment with different combinations to find what works best for you. Paper Type

Test prints:Before printing a large batch of items, print a few test prints to adjust the temperature and pressure settings. Pre-press fabrics to remove moisture and wrinkles before sublimation. Use medium pressure for a few seconds to prepare the material for ink transfer. Determine the ideal dwell time required to ensure the ink fully sublimates into the material without causing any scorching. Remember to also consider the type of ink, as some inks require more heat than others to properly sublimate into the material. Finally, always use enough pressure when pressing your materials so that the colours adhere correctly. Longevity:Consider the lifespan of the ink and how well it will hold up over time. For example, if you’re printing for outdoor use, you’ll want ink resistant to fading and environmental factors.Use the correct resolution: Ensure that your image resolution is set to at least 300 DPI (dots per inch) to ensure sharp and clear prints. Purpose** – Bold teals grab attention, while soft teals are more subtle. Select a shade appropriate for the intent. You must use special sublimation ink to do a sublimation shirt.

Vibrancy:Vibrant colours can significantly affect the final print quality. Look for ink that produces bright, vivid colours that pop. Colour Accuracy:Choose an ink that produces accurate, true-to-life colours for your project. This is especially important for projects where colour accuracy is critical, such as product photography or graphic design. NOTE: Anywhere where you have this screen, you can make a preset. It does not have to be Microsoft Word. This includes Paint and Cricut Design Space. There are a lot of free options out there to print your sublimation designs and make these presets. Using Cricut Design Space for Sublimation Printing This is known as “ghosting” and it is likely because the sublimation print moved during the transfer. You need to use special heat-resistant tape on all four sides of your print to ensure your project stays in place while printing to prevent ghosting. Metals may require a longer dwell time and higher temperature settings to ensure complete ink transfer.

I just converted an Epson inkjet printer to sublimation and the ink isn’t printing right?

The printing profile can vary depending on the specific printer and ink being used. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions or online resources for recommended settings. Print a test image:Before printing a large batch of prints, print a test image to ensure that your settings are optimized for the best results. Color Management and Calibration

Ceramics:When printing on ceramics, choosing a ceramic coated explicitly for sublimation printing is essential. Adjust settings according to the specific ceramic used and the type of transfer paper used. Accuracy:With proper color management, you can ensure that the colors in your images are accurate and true to life.

I can’t find a printer profile for my ink and printer. What do I do?

Look for Quality:Opt for paper with excellent ink absorption, colour transfer, and a smooth finish. Use color profiles: Color profiles are essential for achieving accurate color reproduction in sublimation printing. Use a color profile specific to your printer and substrate to ensure consistent and precise color reproduction. You can find colour profiles online or create your own using colour profiling software. By combining these colored inks on paper in different percentages, printers can recreate a wide spectrum of hues. Teal Color Mixes

It all depends on your preferences and goals! Dye sublimation is fast, flexible, and permanent, but it requires some extra equipment that heat transfer vinyl doesn’t. Do sublimation shirts fade? While the recommended sublimation settings can help you achieve great results, some advanced settings can help you achieve even better results. Here are some key locations to consider: Custom Settings for Different Types of Materials This is known as “banding.” To avoid this, make sure you have your print quality sent to “best” or “high.” Do not use draft or high speed. If you see a “high speed” setting anywhere in your print options, be sure to turn it off. If this does not solve the issue, run the print quality tests on your printer until your ink is printing properly. After I press, I get little dark spots on my sublimation print. What is that?

Graphics:For graphic designs, it’s essential to use a high print resolution to ensure crisp lines and vibrant colours. Adjust the color settings to achieve accurate color reproduction, and consider using a higher print speed to increase productivity. Ink System: Sublimation printing requires a specialized ink system different from traditional inkjet printers. Look for printers that use dye-sublimation inks designed explicitly with sublimation paper and produce vibrant, long-lasting prints. Weight:Sublimation paper is available in different weights, ranging from 60 to 120 grams per square meter (GSM). Heavier paper tends to be more durable and produces better color saturation but may take longer to dry.
