Sublimation bow pillow cases for gender reveal gifts.
Supplies needed:
- sublimatable substrate (pillow wrap)
- sublimation paper
- teflon or scratch paper
- repositionable spray
Heat press settings:
- temperature - 380 degrees F
- dwell time - 1:10 minute
- pressure - medium/heavy
Note: The recommended settings above may need adjustments for best results.
Settings will vary depending on the heat press brand and model ink and paper
and atmospheric conditions.
2nd Note: To adhere to the transfer to the substrate use repositionable spray
on the transfer instead.
Layer the press from the bottom pad to the top heat platen as follows:
1. teflon sheet or scratch paper
2. substrate
3. transfer
Steps:
1. Spray the transfer with repositionable spray.
2. Position the substrate onto the transfer.
3. Place the transfer and substrate in the press (transfer on top of
substrate).
4. Place the teflon sheet or scratch paper over the substrate and transfer.
5. Press the items using the settings listed above.
6. Remove the transfer from the substrate and items from the press
immediately. Use heat-resistant gloves if necessary - the items will be very
hot.
Tips:
- If the image of the final product appears light increase the pressure or
the dwell time slightly (10-20 seconds).
- If the image on the final product appears blurred or substrate appears
yellowed reduce the dwell time slightly (10-20 seconds).
