📝 Preparation

1. For templates, Mock-ups and image size required, please refer to the Design tab.
2. Print your design, MIRROR your image.
3. Clean the substrate printing surface using a microfiber cloth or lint brush to remove dust, oils or lint. (As per substrate)
4. Place the printed image face up and align the subatrate to the centre of the print.
5. Secure the edges using heat-resistant tape to prevent movement.

🛠️ Mug or Tumbler Press Pressing

1. If this is your first press of the this size substrate or you have changed inserts, make sure you do a pre-check before heated to make sure the pressure is correct. You should think that the substrate is nearly going to break as the correct pressure.
2. Heat the press to required temperature.
3. Position the substrate inside the element.
4. Press at listed Heat Press Settings Above.
5. Remove carefully from press after timer has finished. (Caution: Will be extremely hot.)

🛠️ Oven Baking

1. Heat the oven to required temperature.
2. Apply heat shrink and heat or apply silicone clamp.
3. Place substrate/s in the oven.
4. Position the substrate inside the oven.
5. Bake at listed Heat Press Settings Above.
6. In some air fryers, you may need to rotate half way through baking due to insufficient air flow.

7. Remove carefully from oven after timer has finished. (Caution: Will be extremely hot.)

❄️ Cooling and Assembly

1. Carefully remove the substrate from the press (it will be hot).
2. Peel off the sublimation paper while the substrate is warm for best results.
3. Allow the substrate to cool completely.

✅ Tips for Best Results

• Ensure full edge-to-edge coverage in your design to avoid white borders (ensure bleed is sufficient).
• If colours look dull, increase time by 5 seconds or pressure slightly.
• If the coating looks yellowed, your temperature is too high or time too long.
• Store substrate in a clean, dry, dust-free area before printing.
• During extreme cold weather press for a while longer. (+- 10 Percent of total time)
• Print your prints using our templates which have a black border which you cut slightly inside and this will produce consistent alignment of imagery on large runs.
• Wait for the substrate to reach room temperature before placing in plastic bag and packing into packaging.
