Art Setup & Guidelines
How to prepare your print ready art file.
Measurements
The best way to get the dimensions of your art is to set the artboard in the design program to the exact size you want for your printed transfer. For example, if you want the design to be 4" x 4", set your artboard to 4" x 4". This would be considered a ratio of 1:1, or as often referred to - set to size. This eliminates any scaling issues and won't impact file resolution, which should be 300dpi.
Color Profile
While RGB has a large color gamut, which is ideal for televisions and computer monitors, sublimation printers print CMYK. For best results, create your designs in CMYK, or convert your design to CMYK before sending.
Outline Fonts
Ensure all fonts are converted to outlines. Editable type may not display correctly, depending on the computer’s font library.
- Adobe Illustrator - Select all text, go to Type Menu > Create Outlines
- Corel Draw - Select all text, go to Arrange Menu > Convert to Curves
- Photoshop - Select all text, go to Layers Panel > Right Click, Rasterize Type
Acceptable File Formats
We accept a variety of file formats, including: PDF (Press Ready), SVG, PNG, JPG, EPS. Vector files are best. Rasterized files are acceptable, as long as they are 300dpi.


Press Instructions
Heat Press Temp: 390° | Pressure: Medium
Step 1
Pre-Press 20 Seconds


Pre-pressing a garment to remove moisture is a crucial step in the sublimation printing process. By applying heat to the fabric before transferring the design, you eliminate any excess moisture, which helps prevent potential issues like fading, color bleeding, or uneven transfers.
Step 2
Prevent Ink Migration


Inserting a fresh piece of parchment paper inside the garment before heat pressing helps prevent ink migration during the sublimation process. This barrier stops the ink from transferring through the fabric to the other side, ensuring a clean, professional-looking print.
Step 3
Press 50 Seconds


Positioning your transfer on the garment is a key step in ensuring a perfectly aligned design. Carefully place the transfer in your desired location, taking time to measure and center it for accuracy. Close platen and press for 50 seconds - time may vary based on your heat press.
Step 4
Peel Immediately


Peeling immediately and evenly after pressing is essential for achieving a flawless transfer. By removing the transfer in a smooth, steady motion, you ensure that the design remains perfectly in place without shifting or smudging. This step helps preserve the sharpness and clarity of the print.
