DIMENSIONS

RECOMMENDED SUBLIMATION INSTRUCTIONS AND PARAMETERS

Parameters provided as a guideline. 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 sublimable 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 fix it to the tile with heat-resistant tape. Place the tile and paper with the sublimable side facing up on the press plate
• Press with medium-high pressure for 180 seconds
• With the help of 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 fix it to the tile with heat-resistant tape. Place the tile and paper with the sublimable side facing down on the press plate
• Press with medium-high pressure for 300 seconds
• With the help of 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 it 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 run it for 300 - 310 seconds
• Open the oven and, using a protective glove, remove the freshly sublimated tile
• Carefully remove the printed paper
