Textured Wood Photo Panels

Supplies Needed:

- Sublimatable substrate

- Sublimation transfer paper

- Teflon or scratch paper

- Heat tape

- Soft paper towel (optional)

- Heat resistance gloves

Heat press settings:

- temp: 400 degrees F

- dwell time: 1:00 - 2:30 minutes

- pressure: light to medium

Dwell time:

1-35 square inch: 1-1:15 minutes

35-100 square inch: 1:15-1:45 minutes

100-248 square inch: 1:45-2:30 minutes

Notes:

1. The recommended setting above for sublimation may need

adjustments for best results. Sublimation setting will vary 

depending on the heat press brand and model ink and paper

and atmospheric conditions

2. The layers of soft paper towel help trap ink that is dispersed

outside of the edges of the substrate if there is an overprint

area or full bleed in the artwork.

3. Although there is an easel attached to the product it should

not affect the pressing process. Place items into the press as

indicated below.

Sublimation Instructions:

Layer the press from the bottom pad to the top heat platen as follows:

1. teflon sheet or scratched paper

2. 2-3 layers of soft paper towel (optional)

3. substrate

4. transfer paper (with image)

5. teflon sheet or scratch paper

Steps:

1. Place the teflon sheet or scratch paper and paper towels

    on the press

2. Remove the protective plastic coating (if any) of the substrate

3. Position the substrate onto the transfer paper and adhere

    transfer paper to substrate using heat tape

4. Place transfer paper and substrate into the press (transfer

    paper on top of substrate)

5. Place teflon sheet or scratch paper over the transfer paper

6. Press items using the sublimation settings above

7. Remove items from the press immediately. Use heat

    resistance gloves - the items will be very hot

8. Remove transfer paper from substrate
