Drying performance may vary between different grades of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhiyudgtech.com\/product\/sublimation-heat-transfer-paper\/\">papier de sublimation<\/a><\/strong>, especially with heavy ink coverage. If the printed surface is still damp, ink may transfer onto the back of the next layer during winding.<\/span><\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>Transfer the Image onto Fabric<\/strong><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Printing to sublimation transfer paper is only half of the production process. Face the printed side of the sublimation paper to the light-colored polyester or other sublimation material and press with heat. Make sure the paper and fabric are flat and pressed together firmly during pressing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">When working with fabric, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhiyudgtech.com\/product\/sublimation-heat-transfer-paper\/\">papier de transfert de sublimation<\/a><\/strong> and heat transfer equipment, you will need to adjust the temperature, pressure and transfer time depending on the material. It\u2019s always a good idea to test a small area first to check for any discrepancies in the pressing conditions of the material and the print. Place the printed transfer paper on the polyester fabric and make sure it is aligned and fixed in place to prevent it from moving during the pressing process. After pressing, let the material cool as recommended for the transfer paper. Carefully remove the paper from the material and check the print for correct colors, good detail and good sublimation transfer.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><strong><b>Step 5:<\/b><\/strong><strong>\u00a0Maintain the Printer After Use<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Maintain your printer for the next print.

Find out if your printer also needs to be cleaned and maintained.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><strong><b>Inspect, Clean, and Store the Equipment<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Remove scraps, check for waste ink spills and clean accessible feeding areas as described.
