A-sub Paper(67)

Sublimation paper is designed for use with sublimation ink and works best on polyester fabrics and coated items like mugs. DTF (Direct-To-Film) paper, on the other hand, lets you transfer designs onto a wider range of fabrics, including cotton and darker colors.

• Sublimation paper creates vibrant prints, but is typically limited to lighter materials.
• DTF paper is more flexible for garment customization and color variety.

Knowing which paper suits your project helps you get the results you’re looking for.

Sublimation paper needs special sublimation ink to work properly. Regular inkjet ink won't bond with the paper or transfer images during heat pressing, so you won't get the vibrant or lasting results you'd expect.

• Sublimation ink transforms into a gas and embeds the image into your item.
• Regular ink stays on the surface and can easily fade or wash off.

Make sure your printer and ink are compatible for the best outcome.

Keep your unused sublimation paper flat in a cool, dry place.

• Avoid moisture and humidity by storing it in a sealed plastic bag.
• Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing or curling.
• If you have multiple types, label or separate them to avoid mix-ups.

Proper storage helps preserve quality so your designs look crisp when you use the paper later.

Heat transfer paper is great for personalizing various items, like T-shirts, mugs, tumblers, mousepads, and even pillows.

• It works best on polyester fabrics or items with special coatings.
• You can create custom gifts, team shirts, or memorable keepsakes.
• Sublimation and DTF papers both offer plenty of creative options depending on your material.

Always check the paper’s compatibility with your printer and substrate for the best results.

If you’re aiming for vivid colors, here are some tips:

1. Make sure your printer uses fresh sublimation ink and the correct paper type.
2. Use high-resolution images for sharper results.
3. Calibrate printer settings according to paper weight and ink.
4. Keep the pressing temperature and time consistent, based on your item.

These steps often help boost color brightness, but results can vary by product or setup.
