RECOMMENDED SUBLIMATION INSTRUCTIONS AND PARAMETERS

Parameters indicated are for guidance only. It is recommended to carry out preliminary tests to make the necessary adjustments before starting production.

BEFORE STARTING THE SUBLIMATION PROCESS

If the tile has been stored in a cold place, it may have absorbed moisture, which can affect sublimation. In these circumstances, it is recommended to:

• Pre-press or preheat the tile with the sublimatable side facing up and protective paper, at 175 ºC for 5-10 seconds and medium/high pressure
• Allow the tile to cool before starting the sublimation process

WITH TRANSFER PRESS

DIRECT MODE

• Print the design in mirror mode
• Set the press to 180 ºC
• Use a Nomex pad on the lower plate of the press to ensure even heat distribution
• Place the printed paper on the tile and secure it with heat-resistant tape. Place the tile and paper with the sublimatable side facing up on the press plate
• Press with medium-high pressure for 180 seconds
• Using a protective glove, remove the freshly sublimated tile
• Carefully remove the printed paper

INDIRECT MODE

• Print the design in mirror mode
• Set the press to 180 ºC
• Use a Nomex pad on the lower plate of the press to ensure even heat distribution
• Place the printed paper on the tile and secure it with heat-resistant tape. Place the tile and paper with the sublimatable side facing down on the press plate
• Press with medium-high pressure for 300 seconds
• Using a protective glove, remove the freshly sublimated tile
• Carefully remove the printed paper

WITH 3D OVEN AND VACUUM MEMBRANE

• Print the design in mirror mode
• Heat the 3D oven to 180 ºC
• Place the printed design face down on the white side of the tile and secure with heat-resistant tape
• Place the tile in the upper tray of the oven with the side to be printed facing up
• Close the membrane and create the vacuum. Make sure there are no air bubbles on the surface
• Close the oven and operate for 300 - 310 seconds
• Open the oven and, using a protective glove, remove the freshly sublimated tile
• Carefully remove the printed paper
