Sådan sublimere stof produkter korrekt af Beatrice Carol

Sublimation is a perfect decorating solution for performance polyester

apparel and microfiber towels, as well as mousepads. Mousepads have a

fabric covering, which just happens to be polyester. When you sublimate

these materials, the image is more vibrant and durable than any other

decoration process available, which makes the finished sublimated products

far superior than others on the market.

But to have a quality product, you have to sublimate them correctly to get

the best possible results. In this article, we will cover the proper techniques

to get these outstanding results each and every time, and explain why it is

important to do it the correct way.

TOOLS THAT WILL HELP

Heat presses have a top-heated platen, and a bottom platen that most often

has a rubber base. If you don’t use any special pads, in order to get

consistent pressure to keep the sublimation transfer paper against the fabric

when the sublimation dyes turn to a gas and go into the fabric fibers, you

have to use more pressure than is needed to compress the rubber

on the bottom platen. This gives you the press marks and the paper marks on

the fabric.

If you press a sublimation garment with a piece of sublimation paper in the

middle of the press, you will imprint the piece of paper into the fabric,

leaving a mark. Therefore, you must use a tool to prevent this. That tool is

Vapor Foam. By using a piece of Vapor Foam under the fabric that is bigger

than the image area, but smaller than the piece of transfer paper, the paper

cannot be pressed into the fabric, and you will get no press marks.Another

issue that can happen with fabric items is ghosting. Ghosting is when you

place your sublimation transfer onto the fabric item and close it in the press

to facilitate the sublimation process. When you open the press, the paper can

shift on top of the fabric item. When it shifts, the sublimation dyes may still

be gassing out from the paper, and you can get a secondary image off center

of the first image.

The sublimation dyes will go through the adhesive into the fabric and not

hurt your image at all. Further, the adhesive will stay on your paper and not

stay on the fabric.Spray adhesive is not recommended for hard substrates,

but in a pinch it can work okay. Spray adhesive works awesome with mouse

pads. You can use the spray tack to tack the mouse pads to the paper and lay

in a stack. This way you can prep a bunch of mouse pads ahead of pressing

them.One other thing you need to do with fabric items before pressing them

is to use a lint roller to remove dust. You need to do this to remove any

polyester lint that may have settled onto the fabric. downstream adjustments

from having an impact on their products.

Most items for sublimation are heat pressed at 400 degrees. With fabric items

, it is important to lower that temperature a bit. Heat presses have heat

elements that turn off and on to retain the set temperature. Due to this, the

temperature can move up and down a bit. When this happens, the

temperature can come too close to the melting point of the polyester, so you

should lower your temperature a bit when sublimating fabrics.

We generally start at 390 degrees, but you may have to lower it a bit,

depending on the actual operating temperature of your press. You will know

it is too high, if when you finish, your fabric has a gloss or sheen where it

touched the heat platen of the press.

THE TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS ARE THERE FOR SUCCESS

Don’t be scared to give fabric items a go. If you follow the tips and

techniques we described in this article and use the tools that are available,

you can easily sublimate amazing quality products. Sublimated fabric items

are hot sellers, and the profits are there for you.
