Always print on the coated side of the sublimation paper. After printing, let the ink dry fully before heat pressing at the recommended time, temperature, and pressure for the blank you are using.

Sublimation paper is for use with sublimation ink and polyester materials, offering permanent, vibrant prints. Heat transfer paper can be used with pigment ink and works on a broader range of textiles.

Store sublimation paper in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep it flat in its packaging to prevent curling or warping, which may affect print quality.
