Please note these are general guidelines, however there are
several variables that can affect the out come of yuor sublimation
process. If using gloss tiles and see hazing effedt press face
down.
The variables include:
- Ink Manufacturer
- Heating Press pressure
- Number of Tiles per press
- If the tiles are pressed face up or face down.
Optional: If you submerge your tiles into water after pressing,
it "stops" the sublimation process. Please note if
you do submerge the tiles, please allow them to dry before packaging,
as they will hold moisture.
