<p><strong>DESCRIPTION</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Once applied to the garment, the base can be sublimated following the standard sublimation process</li>
<li>Sublicotton is a water-based coating that integrates perfectly into the fabric; it will not crack and has a soft hand-feel</li>
<li>No screen-printing press is required to apply the base</li>
<li>Complies with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 (class II), certifying that it contains no heavy metals such as lead, mercury or nickel</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>

<p><strong>IMPORTANT NOTES</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Not suitable for synthetic fibres</li>
<li>The dark-cotton base is a two-component system: it must be mixed with the supplied powder additive (Ecocharge NF SumiPrint)</li>
<li>Once the dark-cotton mix is prepared, it remains usable for approximately <strong>6 hours</strong></li>
<li>Apply only a thin coat of Sublicotton to the garment; this preserves the fabric’s flexibility and softness</li>
<li>The base must be cured; you can use a drying oven, a transfer press or a flash-cure unit</li>
<li>Always run preliminary tests before starting full production</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DARK COTTON</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1: Apply the base<br /></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Fabric must be clean, free of lint and bobbling</li>
<li>Prepare a screen printed with the shape of the design to be transferred</li>
<li>Prepare the mix: <span class="azul-negrita">5 g</span> of powder additive per <span class="azul-negrita">100 g</span> of base—only make as much as you will use</li>
<li>Let the mix stand for <span class="azul-negrita">15 min</span>, then stir again</li>
<li>Position the screen on the garment</li>
<li>Place a bead of base on the screen, enough to cover the print area</li>
<li>Make <strong>3 passes</strong> with a squeegee, clearing any excess</li>
<li>Cure the base using the parameters given above</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Step 2: Sublimation<br /></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Print your design in <strong>mirror mode</strong> onto sublimation paper</li>
<li>Lay the printed paper on the cured base</li>
<li>Press at <span class="azul-negrita">200 °C</span> with <strong>medium-high pressure</strong> for <span class="azul-negrita">45 s</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><a name="saber-mas6"></a></p>
<p><strong>RECOMMENDATIONS</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Keep the container tightly closed and store below <span class="azul-negrita">35 °C</span>, away from direct or indirect heat sources</li>
<li>Use contents as soon as possible after opening</li>
<li>Work in a well-ventilated area and wear personal protective equipment—gloves, goggles, mask, etc.</li>
<li>Use the base as supplied; do not add any additives other than those provided</li>
</ul>
