MOUSE PAD SUBLIMATION

Supplies needed:
- sublimatable substrate (mouse pad)
- sublimation transfer
- teflon or scratch paper
- repositionable spray
- soft paper towel
- lint roller

Heat press settings:
- temperature - 400 degrees F
- dwell time - 60-70 seconds
- pressure - light to medium

Note: The recommended settings above may need adjustments for best results.
Settings will vary depending on the heat press brand and model ink and paper
and atmospheric conditions.

2nd Note: The layers of soft paper towel helps to distribute the pressure
evenly throughout the substrate and absorb any stray ink that does not get
transferred to the product due to an overprint or bleed edge.

3rd Note: To adhere the transfer to the substrate use repositionable spray
on the transfer instead or in addition to heat tape.

Layer the press from the bottom pad to the top heat platen as follows:
1. teflon sheet or scratch paper
2. 4-5 layers of soft paper towel
3. substrate (mouse pad)
4. transfer
5. teflon sheet or scratch paper

Steps:
1. Lint roll the substrate to remove stray fibers.
2. Spray the transfer with repositionable spray.
3. Position the substrate onto the transfer.
4. Place the transfer and substrate in the press onto the paper towel
(transfer on top of substrate).
5. Place the teflon sheet or scratch paper over the substrate and transfer.
6. Press the items using the settings listed above.
7. Remove the transfer from the substrate and items from the press
immediately. Use heat resistant gloves if necessary - the items will be very
hot.

Tips:
- If the image of the final product appears light increase the pressure or
the dwell time slightly (10-20 seconds).
- If the image on the final product appears blurred or substrate appears
yellowed reduce the dwell time slightly (10-20 seconds).
