VISION Sublimation Paper 120GSM/5760DPI

Description

Sublimation papers are for use with sublimation ink and sublimation printers to create permanently printed items that are dryer and dishwasher safe.

Sublimation printing gives the most vivid, longest lasting prints possible. It can used for textiles, mugs, photo blocks, bottles, key rings, ID cards and more! Check out our range of quality Sublimation Blanks. One thing to keep in mind, is that not all sublimation blanks are made equal – while they may look identical, cheaper manufacturing processes will have very different finished results – cheap quality sublimation coatings may result in grey and splotched prints. You can be certain all sublimation blanks from Knight HTV are of the highest most premium quality.

Temperature requirements vary from 180 degrees to 210 degrees. Time and temperature varies by item and pressing method.

This paper is 120GSM with EXCELLENT ink retention & transfer. Print quality 5760 DPI.

T-shirt & Textile printing with sublimation:

Sublimation printing is for use with light and pastel coloured POLYESTER materials only.

Use on cotton will give a dull print, you should always use Light Inkjet Transfer Papers for light cotton materials. A blend of polyester and cotton can work, although the more polyester in the material, the more vivid the image will be.

Sublimation requires heat presses, as home irons don’t tend to get hot enough (you can always give it a go, though!). I have found the following settings are a great starting point:

180 degrees, 50 seconds, HIGH pressure

Different printer settings and different heat press types will give different results, so have a play until you find the optimum settings for your equipment!
