Sublim8 transfer settings

The transfer settings for Sublim8 inks are the same as for most dye sublimation inks - a temperature of 375 - 400 F for 60 -120 seconds under medium pressure. The exact press settings to use are dependent on the substrate being sublimed to, and the manufacturer of the sublimation blank you are using should be able to provide their recommended transfer settings. We have found that the settings below for some commonly used substrates:-

Polyester textiles and T-shirts            375 F for 60 seconds

Sublim8 aluminum photo panels        375 F for 60 seconds (increase time for panels over 8” x 10”)

Chromaluxe aluminum panels            400 F for 85 seconds (increase time for panels over 8” x 10”)

Note: We recommend that any printer that is running regular inkjet inks or competitive brands of sublimation inks be flushed out before installing Sublim8 inks, and we supply cleaning cartridges and fluids for this purpose – see link below.
