Adhesive Vinyl is Orajet brand and has an outdoor durability of 4 years. SUBLIMATION Pattern SheetSublimation ink, when heated, turns into a gas that actually embeds itself into anything with a polyester coating. 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.
