Hot MAMA - SUBLIMATION PRINT TRANSFER

THIS IS A *SUBLIMATION TRANSFER ONLY* - THIS IS NOT A SHIRT, NOT A SCREEN PRINT, NOT A VINYL TRANSFER AND NOT A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD. Sublimation Transfer TAT is 1-5 business day and doesn't include weekends or holidays(shipping average 3-7 business days depending on carrier).  SIZES OF TRANSFERS BELOW ARE SIZED BY WIDTH ( 13" WIDE, 11" WIDE, 8.5" WIDE, ETC) THE HEIGHT OF DESIGN WILL VARY DUE TO ALL DESIGNS BEING DIFFERENT IN HEIGHT ***Please note*** that the length will be adjusted to keep the image proportional. If you are concerned about the length not fitting your press, please make a note of your heat press at checkout. The longer vertical designs I do try to keep under 15” since that is the common size heat press most use. A few things to NOTE about sublimation and sublimation transfers: Sublimation transfers require a HEAT PRESS to be applied. They cannot be applied with an iron and I do not recommend an easy press either. Transfers must be used on a substrate coated for sublimation (mugs, tumblers, etc.) or fabric with at least 50% polyester. 100% polyester is recommended for best results. The fabric must be white or a light color such as an ash gray. The image will not show up on black or dark colors. Any other colors other than white may alter the colors when pressed. If you are bleaching the shirt you may use any color shirt as long as it is able to be bleached AND has enough polyester (some colors DO NOT bleach - HEATHER COLORS WORK BEST from my experience/research). You can sublimate before or after you bleach the shirt. The design WILL NOT bleach away since it bonds to the polyester in the fabric and polyester does NOT bleach. (hence why you cannot bleach 100% polyester shirts) I recommend looking up Youtube videos on how to bleach or joining bleaching groups on Facebook. Also, sublimation does not use white ink therefore if there is white in the design it will become the color of the fabric or substrate you apply it to (example: if there is white in the design and you press it to an ash gray shirt, that part would be ash gray) The colors on the listing may differ from the colors on transfer. The true colors will show once pressed to the substrate. Garment and mug transfers will have the image reversed, this is because you will be pressing the image face down on your substrate, which will press the image the correct way (right to left).   *THIS IS A PHYSICAL PRODUCT NOT A DIGITAL DESIGN* What is Sublimation? Sublimation transfer prints are for White or Light Color Garments and textiles with 50% or higher polyester count (example: 50/50 blend material or higher). The sublimation ink actually binds with the polyester material to "become one" with it and does not lay on top like other typical transfers. This means longer color vibrancy and life span. Please note: for the best results and deepest color saturation, we recommend applying to 100% polyester. We recommend using at least 65% polyester or higher for best results. Transfers can be applied to 50/50 materials or higher but will yield a lighter, similar to distressed, result. Many people have wonderful success with 50/50 but we just want you to be aware the higher the polyester count, the brighter the image. Our sublimation transfers are also perfect for sublimation blanks. No additional coating is necessary and will apply to sublimation blanks with superb results! You can find many sublimation blanks online such as mugs, signs, photo plates, license plates, plates, etc. Just be sure the substrate is ready for sublimation - then apply your favorite design! Transfer Sizes: (these are sized by width) -Mug/Can Cooler: 3”  -Infant: 5” -Toddler: 6.5” -Youth: 8.5” -Adult: 8.5”x11” -Adult: 11”x19” (size length is approximate and will be sized according to the design) --Adult: 13”x19” (size length is approximate and will be sized according to the design) -All sizes are approximate and will be sized according to the design ALTHOUGH I do not make designs longer than 14” in length unless noted at checkout since most customers have 15”x15” heat press. Please be aware that there may be a slight difference in the color of the image or text on your computer monitor versus the color that is actually printed. All transfers will look lighter on the paper than when actually pressed. Application Process: -Pressure needs to be MEDIUM/HIGH. -Press for 385-400 degrees for 60 seconds. Every heat press has its own sweet spot for temperature so you may need to adjust your temperature to achieve the best results. Recommendations: -We recommend using a heat press to use these transfers. -DO NOT USE A TEFLON SHEET!! -Butcher paper on top of transfer before pressing. (You can use copy paper in a pinch. Just cover the transfer sheet completely) -Butcher paper placed between the shirt to prevent transfer of design to the back of shirt when pressed  -We also suggest tearing the transfer as close as possible to the design to help reduce the chance of transfer sheet marks. (Usually black lines from printing that can be on the edges of the paper/design)  -Heat tape to keep the transfer in place! Amazon carries this at reasonable price.  Processing & Shipping -Processing time is 1-5 business days (this doesn't include weekends or holidays) -Shipping is $6 for USPS First Class Mail with Tracking or $9 for USPS Priority Mail with Tracking/Insurance. -We will ship to whatever address you provide at checkout.
