SUBLIMATING ON THE PATCHES

Supplies needed:
- patch
- sublimation transfer
- teflon or scratch paper
- heat tape
- scratch paper

Heat press settings:
- temperature - 390 degrees F
- dwell time - 60 seconds
- pressure - medium

Note: The recommended settings above may need adjustments for best results.
Settings will vary depending on the heat press brand and model ink and paper
and atmospheric conditions.

2nd Note: To adhere the transfer to the substrate use heat tape not
repositionable spray. Using the spray can cause the transfer to stick to the
substrate.  Only tape the edges of the batch (the black embroidered part) to prevent the tape from sticking to the adhesive backing

Layer the press from the bottom pad to the top heat platen as follows:
1. teflon sheet or scratch paper
2. transfer with patch ON TOP (patch facing down on the transfer)
3. teflon sheet or scratch paper

Steps:
1. Position the patch onto the transfer.
2. Tape the patch to the paper. Only tape the edges to prevent the tape from
sticking to the adhesive backing.
3. Place the transfer and substrate in the press onto scratch paper or teflon
(patch on top of transfer facing down).
4. Place the teflon sheet or scratch paper over the patch and transfer.
5. Press the items using the settings listed above.
6. Remove the transfer from the substrate and items from the press
immediately. Use heat resistant gloves if necessary - the items will be very
hot.

Tips:
- If the image of the final product appears light increase the pressure or
the dwell time slightly (10-20 seconds).
- If the image on the final product appears blurred or substrate appears
yellowed reduce the dwell time slightly (10-20 seconds).
