Washing Instructions: Always adhere to the washing instructions provided by the shirt manufacturer to maintain the quality and longevity of the printed design. 

Required Equipment: Utilize a Heat Press or Cricut Press for the sublimation process. These machines provide the necessary heat and pressure for optimal results.

  1.  Heat Press Setting: Set the heat press to 400 Fahrenheit (204 Celsius).
  2. Medium Pressure: Apply medium pressure during the heat press operation.
  3. Preparing the Garment: Place the polyester shirt on the heat press platen. Press it for 3-5 seconds to eliminate wrinkles and moisture. 
  4. Ensure Clear Surface: Verify that there are no obstructions, such as buttons, pockets, or seams, that could interfere with the sublimation process.
  5. Position the Transfer: Place the sublimation transfer on the desired area of the garment, ensuring proper alignment.
  6. Heat Press Operation: Close the heat press and apply firm pressure for 50 seconds to allow the sublimation ink to transfer onto the polyester fibers.
  7. Peel: After the designated time, carefully peel off the transfer paper, revealing the vibrant sublimated design on the polyester shirt.
