Prep the Blank

  • Pre-press the blank for a few seconds to remove wrinkles and moisture.

Position the Transfer

  • Align your design on the blank and secure it using heat tape or light adhesive spray. Tear the paper edges instead of cutting for a clean finish.

Press Settings

Protect your Press

  • Place butcher paper above and below the blank to catch excess ink and maintain the cleanliness of your press.

  • Pro Tip: Keep notes on different blank brands for future reference. Adjust press settings based on color vibrancy and ghosting issues.

Sublimation Guide

  1. Prep the Blank
    • Sublimation only works on coated or polyester-rich blanks. Double-check that your item is labeled sublimation-ready. Pre-press for a few seconds to remove wrinkles and moisture.
  2. Position the Transfer
    • Line up your design and secure it with heat tape or a light adhesive spray. For best results, tear the paper edges instead of cutting — this prevents harsh press lines.
  3. Press Settings
    • Most blanks press at 385-400°F with medium pressure. Times vary by material, so keep a cheat sheet of what works for you.
  4. Protect your Press
    • Always use butcher paper above and below to catch excess ink and keep your press clean.
  5. Finish and Cool
    • Remove the paper carefully and let the blank cool before handling. Hard goods can stay hot longer than expected.

Pro Tip: Keep notes!

  • Every blank brand is a little different — your future self will thank you.Epic-Marks-Sublimation-Guide-fig-1
  • Dull colors = press hotter/longer or check polyester content.
  • Ghosting = transfer shifted, tape it down better.
