Sublimation Settings for Heat Press: When using a heat press for sublimation, it is crucial to set the correct parameters to achieve optimal results. The recommended sublimation settings for a heat press will depend on various factors, including the substrate being used and the specific sublimation ink and paper combination. Generally, the heat press temperature for sublimation ranges from 375 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (190 to 205 degrees Celsius) for fabric and ceramic substrates. Metals may require higher temperatures. The pressure should be set to ensure even distribution across the entire transfer area. The dwell time typically ranges from 30 to 60 seconds, allowing sufficient heat and pressure for the sublimation process to take place. It is essential to refer to the guidelines provided by the sublimation ink and paper manufacturers for precise settings.
