YOU MUST SELECT SUBLIMATION OR DTF BEFORE ADDING DESIGN TO YOUR CART Get the instructions and more information for caring for your custom garments under the “How to Apply” and “Product Care” tabs above. For more in depth product info read our blog: https://www.icraftvinyl.com/blogs/news/sublimation-vs-dtf-transfers-differences-and-which-ready-to-press-option-to-choose WHAT IS SUBLIMATION? Our ready-to-press sublimation transfers allow you to create fully decorated garments in seconds. No cutting, weeding or layering required, and you can easily achieve long-lasting results with just one press. Sublimation transfers can ONLY be applied to high-count, white or light color polyester materials, or poly-coated items, not 100% cotton garments. The ink on the paper backing will release into your garment when the proper heat, pressure & time is applied. One of the benefits of sublimation is that you will not be able to feel the design once it is pressed into the polyester fibers, it will permanently dye the fabric. PLEASE NOTE that prints will be sent mirrored and will appear dull until heat is applied. WHAT IS DTF? Press full-color, complex images to any color shirt and any material using our DTF (direct-to-film) transfers. The result is a soft and durable design you can achieve quickly and easily. No cutting, weeding or layering required. We print these in-house on a special film you remove once you have pressed the design to your garment of choice. You can press on light or dark materials, and onto polyester, cotton, 50/50 blends, silk, nylon, leather & MORE!
