Step
1
Prepare your artwork and transfer with consideration to the size
of the of the ceramic tile. Always leave a small amount of overlap
for the image so that it will wrap round the curved edges of the
tile. |
Step
2
Place the transfer face up on your felt pad. Take note that the
hard rubber that presses ship with sometimes are too hard and
do not allow the tile to sink in properly therefore not wrapping
the transfer round the edges of the tile. It is very advantageous
to create yourself as softer base as possible which in turn cuts
down on breakages and wraps the transfer to the tile.
|
Step
3
Place the tiles one by one face down on the transferuntil they
are all laid out like the examples below.
|
Step
4
Cover the tile and transfer with teflon sheet (or white paper).
|
Step
5
Press for about 560 seconds. This is using our Armor coated tiles.
If you are using thinner Chineese coated tiles the coatings are
not as durable as ours and will burn so you will need to lower
the time somewhat.
|
Step
6
Remove the tile from the press one by one using a pair of oven
gloves. Take care not to bang the tiles together when still hot
as sublimation tiles are vunerable to chipping when hot.
|
Step
7
Allow to cool on a clean surface.
