Order The matching decal here: Howdy New Years You choose SUBLIMATION or Adhesive Vinyl. Vinyl is printed with a special eco-solvent ink that is made to last. Adhesive Vinyl is Orajet brand and has an outdoor durability of 4 years. White Base adhesive-This option is printed on a white permanent vinyl. These sheets are 100% opaque. This means you cannot see anything underneath them. It can be used on any color base! Clear Cast adhesive -Clear Cast adhesive sheets are very similar to our permanent adhesive patterns yet they are printed on clear adhesive instead of white. This way the surface underneath can be seen through the pattern. It gives the pattern a stained glass effect or watercolor effect. The color is not as vibrant as it is when printed on the white base vinyl. Works great over a light glitter base tumbler! All sheets come 12x12 and are approximate, since we do print in house. These are pattern sheets and nothing will be cut out for you. Adhesives will not smear with epoxy, this is not a waterslide. Patterns are printed with high quality professional inks.

This creates a cleaner, more professional look while allowing for a much more detailed image than what solid HTV can offer. Shading, gradients and a rainbow of colors are huge benefits to using sublimation transfers. Sublimation must be used with at least 50% polyester (white or light colored garment) but will show better results the closer to 100% polyester your garment is (white or light colored garment). The higher the polyester content, the brighter and clearer your image will be. The lower the polyester content, the more vintage, faded or aged your image will be. Also, with a lower polyester content, you may see your image fade slightly with the first wash. Sublimation printing, also referred to as dye sublimation printing, is a printing method for transferring images onto a substrate (usually a cloth material such as polyester).HEATING PROCESS FOR SUBLIMATIONFor any fabric, unisub, hardboard, or aluminumAlways refer back to the blanks heating up instructions FIRSTSet temperature on heat press to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.Set timer to 60 seconds.Set Pressure at medium.Place paper face down on garment.
