SUBLIMATION GENERAL INFORMATION:
What Shirts Work: •Transfers are to be applied onto shirts with a HIGH polyester count.
•100% WHITE POLYESTER is preferable for the most vibrant colors.
•65% polyester the item will give you a faded, vintage look as the item is washed.
•Nothing less than 65% polyester is recommended.
•Shirts light in color will work, but white is best!
•If you use a colored shirt (other than white) where there is white on the transfer, it will then become the color of the shirt.
•Using shirts other than white will alter the over all colors.
••••BLACK SHIRTS WILL NOT WORK NO MATTER WHAT!••••
SUBLIMATION APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
*THIS VARIES MACHINE TO MACHINE - THESE ARE A RECOMMENDATION*
•385-400 degrees for 40-55 seconds using Medium Pressure
•Pre-Press shirt first for 5 seconds
•Put butcher paper inside of the shirt to prevent bleeding through to the back.
•Put transfer face down on shirt

IMPORTANT NOTES
•A Household iron is NOT going to work for these applications you will need a COMMERCIAL HEAT PRESS
•I HAVE seem videos of the Cricut Easy Press working. I do not have direct experience using one since I have a heat press. From what I have read/seen you need to regulate your own pressure, and there is a bit of a learning curve. While I do not recommend this option in any way, shape or form - it does work. I still endorse the Heat press for the best outcome.
•PLEASE NOTE: All Heat Presses vary so what works perfectly for one heat press might not work for another.
WASHING DIRECTIONS
Washing your sublimated items the following way will best preserve the print:
•Machine Wash Cold
•Turn shirt inside out
•NO DRYER - hang dry
•NO IRON
•NO BLEACH
•NO FABRIC SOFTENER
•DO NOT DRY CLEAN
WHAT SHIRTS I USE FOR SUBLIMATION TRANSFERS
Since Sublimation dyes the shirt fabric it is important that you use a high polyester count shirt -- 65% or higher! Remember, since it dyes it has to be light in color as well. The shirt I use for my own orders is the following: White Marble Bella + Canvas 3005 Unisex Short Sleeve These shirts are 91% polyester and they sub beautifully!

CAN I USE THE SUBLIMATION TRANSFERS ON DARK COLORED/BLACK SHIRTS?
The short and simple answer to that is no! Sublimation “dyes” the fabric and with that being said if can’t dye black fabric. If you’re looking to press on black (or any other dark colors). Sublimation works best on white/light colored fabrics
CAN I USE SUBLIMATION ON COTTON SHIRTS?
No! Sublimation “dyes” the fabric and with that being said it can’t “stick” to the cotton fabric. Which is why Sublimation works best on a 65% (or more) polyester count fabrics (or other materials coated specifically for sublimation). You do have a few options for this if you do want to work with cotton shirts. There are a few sprays you can use (I don’t endorse any brands simply because I’ve never used them before) - many people have great success with these sprays! It basically coats the cotton shirts with the polyester additive it needs to make the ink “stick” - as I mentioned above that’s all I know, I’ve never used any of them. If you don’t want to deal with any of the sprays then sublimation isn't for you!
