THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

Use a squeegee to apply the adhesive to the surface you are personalising and avoid the formation of air bubbles. You will find it in Related Products.
If you want to get higher opacity, we recommend using matte white Washaffix vinyl. You will find it in Related Products (Ref. 925976 and Ref. 925983).
Avoid using microwaves on glasses, mugs, or plates personalised with Washaffix.
If you’re using a Silhouette Cameo vinyl cutter, the recommended cutting parameters for this vinyl are the following: blade setting (2), speed (2), force (20) and number of passes (1).

How to personalise and apply Washaffix vinyl?

SUBLIMATION BEFORE APPLICATION: RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTIONS AND PARAMETERS

Print the design in mirror image, using sublimation paper.
Remove the liner from the Washaffix and stick it to protective paper or any other silicone paper. Use a squeegee to avoid air bubbles or wrinkles. Keep the liner for later.
Preheat the press to 190ºC.
Place the Washaffix vinyl on the press’ lower platen and the printed design on top of it^(*). Cover them with another layer of protective paper.
Press for 35 seconds, low pressure.
Remove the layer of protective paper from the sublimated Washaffix vinyl and reattach it to its liner.
With a dry cloth, clean any ink residue that might remain on the vinyl after pressing.
Cut the design with a vinyl cutter if possible.
When applying the design, simply remove the liner and stick it to the surface you are personalising.

^(*) To guarantee a more uniform pressure, you may place a thin board, or something similar, on the press’ lower platen before placing the vinyl.

SUBLIMATION AFTER APPLICATION: RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTIONS AND PARAMETERS

Cut and stick the Washaffix vinyl to the object you want to personalise.
If necessary, use heat-resistant tape to protect the parts of the item that may get damaged by heat.
Print the design in mirror image, using sublimation paper.
Preheat the press to 190ºC.
Place the item on the press’ lower platen, with the vinyl to be printed facing up.
Place the previously printed design on the vinyl.
Press for 35 seconds, heavy pressure.
Using a protective glove, remove the item with the newly printed vinyl.
Remove the paper carefully.

LASER PRINTING

You can use any laser printer: standard or white toner, with LED technology or flash fusing.
Select the paper type in your printer: “Transparency” or the most suitable option according to the thickness and grammage of this vinyl.
Place the vinyl in the printer tray.
Print the design on the vinyl.
Cut the outline of the design using scissors or a vinyl cutter.
Remove the excess media, leaving on the liner the design you want to stick to the item.
Slightly peel the design off its backing at one end, but enough so that it sticks to the vinyl to begin its application.
Gradually place the vinyl on the target surface. Use a squeegee to avoid the formation of air bubbles.
