How To Sublimate A Polyester T-Shirt


Heat Press Settings
Polyester T-Shirts Temperature: 400°
Time: 50 Seconds
Pressure: Light to Medium
Step 1
  • Prepare your artwork and transfer with consideration to the size of       the t–Shirt.
  • Spread a teflon sheet (or white paper) on the bottom of the press.
  • Place a t–shirt over the teflon sheet on the press and remove any      wrinkles.


  • Step 2

  • Slide a teflon sheet inside the shirt to protect the back of the shirt       from sublimation.
  • Place the shirt, face-up, on the platform, smoothing out folds and       wrinkles.
  • Place the transfer, face-down, in position on the shirt.
  • Cover the shirt and transfer with a teflon sheet, assuring the     transfer and shirt remain in position.
  • Press with medium pressure 50 seconds.



  • Step 3

  • Remove the shirt from the press.
  • Allow to cool on a clean surface.

  • Additional Notes
    Please take note of the variation of printable areas from shirt size to shirt size. You may need to adjust your transfer size for each shirt size or design a size that will suit all sizes.

    You may choose to “pre-press” your garment for 5 seconds to remove any moisture that may be present.

    A lint brusher or roller will remove any clinging debris that may compromise your imaging.

    To sublimate to a Soft L’Ink Sweatshirt, use the same instructions as the Tee’s, but increase press time by 10 seconds.
