WITH A HEAT PRESS (INDIRECT METHOD)

• Print the design in mirror image
• Preheat the press to 180ºC

WITH A SUBLIMATION OVEN

• If using a 3D oven, place the tile with the printable side facing upwards. Close the membrane and make the vacuum. Make sure no air bubbles remain on the surface
• Another option is to use heat shrink bags. With the help of a heat gun, shrink the design to the tile, removing all the air from inside the tile
