DESCRIPTION

• For optimal results, it is essential to use both components: the printable paper and the powder polymer
• No curing process for the paper and ink is needed before stamping. This saves time and effort, speeding up production
• The paper can be printed on both sides
• The contents of the polymer powder bag are estimated to be sufficient for working with 50 sheets of A4 size sublimation paper or 25 sheets of A3 size. However, the amount of polymer required will depend on the size of the design to be sublimated, so this estimate may vary accordingly
• The application of this system requires the use of an inkjet printer with sublimation inks
• Finish similar to a transfer

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• Based on our experience, we do not recommend using Sawgrass inks in the application of SubliMagic OneStep
• The rollers of some printers may leave ant trails on the paper
• Not suitable for Epson ET-14100, ET-1810, ET-18100, SC-F100 and SC-F500 printers

DIMENSIONS

• A3 size sublimation paper sheet: 29.7 x 42 cm
• A4 size sublimation paper sheet: 21 x 19.7 cm
• Size of the polymer powder bag: 13 x 22.5 cm

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBLIMATED FABRIC

• Wash inside out with lukewarm water
• Do not use bleach
• Iron the printed area inside out

HOW TO APPLY THE SUBLIMAGIC ONESTEP SYSTEM TO SUBLIMATE LIGHT FABRICS?

STEP 1: PRINT

• Avoid printing the entire paper edge to edge
• Print the image in mirror mode on either side
• If the paper is slightly curled, gently bend the paper to reduce this effect
• Select the print setting: Normal Paper and High Speed. If lines appear in the design when printing, it is advisable to use manual paper feed and set the print settings to: Thick Paper
• Print only one sheet at a time because the ink must be wet to retain the powder polymer. Printing multiple sheets consecutively and stacking them as they come out of the printer could cause the ink to spread and contaminate other sheets
• Do not touch the printed side of the paper with your fingers

STEP 2: APPLY THE POWDER POLYMER

• Use a tray or plastic container to collect the powder polymer after application. In the Related Products section, you will find a tray suitable for this use
• Examine the powder polymer inside the packet, and if you notice any lumps, it is advisable to break them up
• Hold the printed paper over the tray and sprinkle the powder over the printed side. Move the paper slightly from side to side to cover the printed design with powder
• Gently shake the paper to remove excess powder, ensuring it falls into the tray. You can use it for the next design
• When finished, store the leftover powder in the bag and seal it to keep it properly without moisture

STEP 3: IRON THE DESIGN ONTO THE FABRIC

• Preheat the iron to 185 ºC
• Place the fabric on the lower plate of the iron
• Place the paper with the printed side in contact with the fabric. Once you have placed the printed paper, if you need to adjust its position, do not move it from side to side. Lift the paper upwards and place it again where needed
• Use a protective paper and iron at 185 ºC for 34 seconds with medium pressure
• Remove the fabric from the iron and wait approximately 40 seconds (until it has cooled) before peeling
• Peel the paper diagonally while holding the fabric with the other hand
