BEING FUN WITH T-SHIRT TRANSFER PRINTING IN SUMMER

In summer, everyone wants to wear cool and comfortable. T-shirt must be the best choice. You can DIY your t-shirts so that they cannot be so boring and you can also have fun with iron-on transfers! Iron-on transfers allow you to easily decorate clothes and other fabrics, resulting in a truly unique, new item. All you'll need are some fabrics, decals, iron-on tape, and an iron!

Steps
1.Buy a transfer. You can buy transfers at sublihouse.com.

2.Create your own transfer.
Find or create an image you want to use for the transfer. You can scan an image into your computer, find one on the internet, or create one in a software program.

Manipulate the image. Using basic image editing software, you can resize your image, add effects, change colors, or do whatever you want until it's just right. Use your editing program to mirror the image so that it comes out correctly on the fabric you transfer it to.
Print the transfer.

Print a test page on plain paper, and when you're sure it's how you want it, print it onto a piece of transfer paper. Make sure to load the transfer paper so that the image will print on the correct side (this should be clearly marked).
3.Lay out the fabric.

Place the t-shirt (or other cloth to which the image will be transferred) on a hard, flat surface, and smooth out any wrinkles with the iron. The work surface should be heat resistant and should be large enough to accommodate the entire area of the transfer with a little room to spare.
4.Place the transfer image-side down on the fabric.

Put the transfer on the cloth precisely where you want the image to be. Be sure you have the image facing the fabric.
5.Place brown paper inside the shirt directly under the transfer paper.

Unless you want the image to be printed on both sides of a shirt (if that's what you're transferring the image to), you'll need to put something between the front and back.
6.Iron on the transfer.

Carefully read the instructions given with the transfer paper. Set the iron to the designated temperature, and wait for it to warm up. Move the iron in large circles on top of the transfer paper. Start by focusing on the outside of the image, and gradually move toward the center. Be sure to apply adequate pressure for an adequate amount of time for ten seconds (see the transfer paper instructions), but keep the iron moving to prevent scorching.
7.Wait for the image to cool. Turn off the iron when finished and let the image cool for a few minutes.
8.Remove the backing from the transfer paper. Gently peel the backing off of the fabric.

9.Care for your project properly. Wash and dry the cloth on a cool setting only. If the transfer was done to clothing, turn the article of clothing inside out before washing.

HEAT PRESS MACHINE SUBLIMATION PRINTING FOR SNEAKERS

Valentino 2016 fashion show has given us the young age. A beautiful dress can also match sneakers.

Technology is sexy. Orthotics, those inserts you put in your shoes to fix your hurting feet, aren’t even close to being sexy. But what happens when you bring in a wicked-smart woman, an iPad and a printer to solve the problem of design versus comfort? You disrupt an industry and sexy happens.
People Footwear has just introduced a line of sneakers made with a printed mesh which seem, and this is more the exception than the rule when it comes to printing shoes, like something you could actually wear.

One of the first issues you might find is that not all polyester fabric and garments are created equally. Just because the tag says it is 100% polyester does not mean that a garment is going to sublimate well. If you go talk to a typical t-shirt manufacturer and ask them if their shirts are sublimate, they will say “sure, it is 100% polyester.” Then go ahead and ask them if they know what sublimation actually is or how it is done?
Most of them will not, they just know people are asking them for sublimate shirts and they have a polyester version of their cotton counterpart. Some garments might have too low of a thread count, surface treatments that will affect the transfer or low white points. I’d suggest that you test all garments before committing to use that type of performance fabric with a customer. I would also be wary of accepting customer supplied garments without being able to test them first.
The other issue I frequently address is when the digital transfer substrate imprints a permanent line onto the garment. This happens because the heat needed to transfer items onto polyester and the accompanying pressure actually makes the polyester melt and it conforms to the edge of the transfer carrier. The way to eliminate this is through a little bit of trial and error, but a there are a few key points will make narrowing this down easier. The new issue could be that you see the heat press mark on the garment so at that point you have way too much pressure. The better way to eliminate this mark is by using a piece of high temperature foam.

This foam will need to be cut to at least ½” smaller than the transfer carrier sheet, but it also must be bigger than the image area being transferred. Before pressing stick the foam into your heat press towards the edge so you can see it.
Adjust the pressure on your heat press so the foam compacts to about half of its normal thickness. This will give you a good amount of pressure while not pushing down so hard as to imprint the transfer carrier’s edge. You will have to do your own testing to find your exact right temperature and pressure, but ideally you want the least amount of pressure and least amount of heat to still be able to get a clean, vibrant and washable transfer.
Polyester performance fabrics are here to stay and as a garment decorator you need to be able to create these for your customers. While they can present some new challenges, they can also bring much higher profit margins and much less competition as not all decorators can master performance fabric. Placing digital transfers onto performance fabrics is a worthwhile investment one you understand what you need to be successful. Happy Decorating!

CUSTOM MADE DIFFERENT STYLES OF SUBLIMATION UNIFORMS

Can I use my own logo in my design?
Definitely! Sublimation paper is the perfect format to incorporate gym or company logos, or mascot images. If you have a specific logo you want to use, please be prepared to email a hi-resolution (300 ppi) image, in either vera@ink-sublimation.com. Additional artwork charges may apply if you are providing your own artwork.

Sublimation offers limitless color options for your logo, along with plenty of room to showcase sponsors and player names. In Dye Sublimation your image will be printed with a special ink onto a sheet of transfer paper. The image on the piece of paper is applied to the shirt using a heat press. This press combines pressure, high temperature and time to transfer the image on the paper into the shirt. The end result is a breathable, flexible shirt with a vibrant image that won’t crack or peel off over time and won’t feel stiff or heavy while the garment is being worn.

Because the sublimation process dyes the image into shirt, the color of the shirt can affect the colors in the image.
We love sublimation! It is a method of applying a printed design to a garment. This involves a transfer process which uses heat and pressure to take the design from paper to the surface of the fabric – giving you total freedom over the design and colour of your kit!

Why Choose Sublimation?
Sublimation is great for a number of reasons: it is super versatile meaning you can have a design as wacky as you like, in any possible combination of colours. Sublimation also prints everything at once, including names, numbers and any logos meaning that you can add as many of these as you like without affecting the cost. Because the logos are transferred as part of the design, it keeps the garment light which is always a bonus and enables you to play to your best.
