Dye Sublimation transfer printing paper is used to permanently place an image onto a piece of fabric such as a T-shirt, jacket, jersey, cloth banner, flag or other textile. When the paper is heated, its adhesive backing melts the printed image directly into the fabric. Such a project represents an enjoyable and inexpensive way for creative types to make their own original garments.

place an image onto a piece of fabric such as a T-shirt, jacket,

heated, its adhesive backing melts the printed image directly
into the fabric. Such a project represents an enjoyable and

3. How To Use Dye Sublimation Transfer Paper :
1. Printing the Image
Load the printer so that the blank-coated side of the transfer paper will
receive the image. Mostbrands of transfer paper will have a red grid or
similar warning on the reverse side of the paper to let you know that that
side should not be printed on. Print your image onto the transfer paper, and
then setit aside.

4. Prepare a flat, solid
surface to transfer
the image that will
not be adversely
affected by heat. A
largewooden or
hard plastic cutting
board on top of a
table or workbench
is a good choice. Do
not use anironing
board – it is too soft
for the correct
amount of pressure
to be applied. Once
the surface
isprepared, place
the garment down
and spread it out.

5. 2. Transferring the
Image
Put the iron on a dry
setting so that there is
no steam. Again, the
heat should be at
maximum. Apply the
iron to the image and
move it around as
though you were
ironing. Apply a
generous amount of
pressure; this is crucial
for a proper transfer,
including the
elimination of air
bubbles. Continue
moving the iron
around, ensuring each
part of the image is in
contact with the iron
for up to 60 seconds.

6. 3. Peeling Off the Paper
Set the iron down, but leave it turned on. Allow the transfer
paper to cool down for about five minutes or until it reaches
room temperature. Then, stretch the garment a little and peel
the paper off from one corner. The image should now be applied
to the garment. ?
