DESCRIPTION

• 1 smooth side (sublimatable front) and 1 textured side (back)
• Pre-cut canvases have L-shaped notched corners to facilitate mounting on the frame
• The 100 cm x 10 m roll has a cardboard core or inner tube of Ø4.8 cm

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• They can be easily fixed to the frame using a stapler, nail gun or double-sided adhesive tape. You will find these in Related Products
• You can purchase wooden frames with other profiles and sizes in Related Products (Ref. 916776)
• The fabric must cover the edge or side of the frame so that it is hidden on the reverse. Therefore, the canvas size must be at least 2.5 cm larger than each side of the frame

RECOMMENDED SUBLIMATION INSTRUCTIONS AND PARAMETERS

• Print the design in mirror mode
• Heat the press to 200 ºC
• Place the canvas on the base of the press and the printed side of the paper on top of the canvas. Secure them with heat-resistant adhesive tape
• Close the press at medium pressure for 40 seconds
• With the help of a protective glove, remove the freshly printed canvas

HOW TO FIX THE CANVAS TO THE FRAME?

• Stretch the canvas with the sublimated side facing down on a clean, flat surface
• Place the frame centred on the reverse of the canvas
• Staple the centre of each side of the frame first. Use pliers to tension and staple the opposite sides. You will find these in Related Products (Ref. 003676)
• Next, staple on both sides of the central staples, working progressively towards the corners
• Fold the corners of the canvas inwards and staple them to the frame
