Before you Begin

It is crucial that the OEM ink supplied with your printer is installed before you attempt to install your SubliJet IQ™ and ChromaBlast

TM

inks. This allows for two things: First, it primes the ink delivery system, ensuring that the SubliJet IQ™ and ChromaBlast

TM

inks will load more easily.

Second, it familiarizes you with the basic operation of your printer. Please see the EPSON Stylus

Photo R800 or R1800 Printer User’s Guide for instructions on installation.

Quick Connect II™ Set-up for the Epson R1800

1.Check to ensure that you have all of the components necessary to setup your

Quick Connect II™ system.

Components

1. Ink Cartridge + tubes

2. 1 x Long Tube Grip

3. 1 x Short Tube Grip

4. Chips

5. 8x SubliJet & ChromaBlast Ink Bags

(Not included with QC II)

6. Small primer bottle

7. Cartridge Cover (R1800 Only)

8. Ink configuration sticker

9. Rubber Gloves

10. Ink Box

11. ChromaBlast R1800 Driver CD

12. SubliJet R1800 IQ Driver CD

2. Place the Quick Connect II box on a level surface next to where your printer is going to be placed. The R1800 should be on the right hand side with the clamps facing towards the front.

Your ink bags should never be elevated above the print head. Keeping the bags beside the printer at the same level assures the ink delivery system will operate

properly.

3. Remove the lid from the box and place it to the side. Place the

Ink Configuration Sticker on the Front of the bottom box just above the white connector clips.

- 4 -

4. Insert the ink bags into the ink box by clipping them into the corresponding connectors attached inside the box. Each section is marked with which color ink should be placed there.

Remember to match the right color ink to its corresponding cartridge chamber. Once the tube is filled, there is no way to undo it!

5. Once all ink bags are connected inside your Quick Connect

II™ ink box, you will need to obtain the small primer bottle to prime each line.

6. Take the cartridge in one hand and the priming bottle in the other as shown in the picture to the right. Squeeze the priming bottle to release all of the air and insert it into the bottom of the cartridge to pull ink through the line and just bring ink into the reservoir.

7. Once ink is in the reservoir, pinch together the clamp that’s connected to the tube on the outside of the box. This will ensure that no more ink will pull into the reservoir until you are ready for it.

8. Do this for each cartridge.

9. Place the lid back onto the Quick Connect II™ ink box and gently place the cartridges on top of the box while you are completing the printer setup.

Printer Set-up for the R1800

1. Turn the printer on, lift the lid, and press the cartridge replacement button.

2. The cartridge bay will shift into the remove position. Lift the bay lid and remove any installed cartridges.

- 5 -

3. Remove the cartridge cover by gently pushing on the right side and twisting to the right as shown below.

4. Install the cartridge chips as shown in the pictures below. Start by lining up the first chip with the yellow dot with the yellow ink slot in the cartridge bay. Then line up the second chip with the black dot with the black slot in the cartridge bay.

- 6 -

5. Insert the plastic cross bars into place by sliding the notched end into the back of the chip holders.

6. Slide the cartridge bay to the center of the printer to install the sublimation cartridges. It must be to the left of the gray bar before any cartridges can be installed.

7. Gently place the cartridges into the cartridge bay. Start with the yellow cartridge on the left and attach the cartridges in this order:

Channel

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

SJ ink SJ ink SJ ink SJ ink CB ink CB ink CB ink CB ink

Y M C K K C M Y

8. Once all cartridges are attached and in place, slide the cartridge bay back to its original position. The Quick Connect II™ tubes should be underneath the gray bar on the printer.

- 7 -

9. Attach the custom cover to the cartridge bay. Be careful not to pinch the tubes when closing the cover.

10. Obtain the long tube holder and remove the tabs from the back exposing the adhesive. Place the tube holder in the middle of the gray bar and attach it to the printer.

11. Slide tubing into the holder for placement. Leave enough slack so that the cartridge bay can easily slide from one side of the printer to the other without creating tension on the tubes.

12. Obtain the short tube holder and remove the tabs from the back exposing the adhesive. Attach it to the right hand side of the printer where the tubes hang down to meet the Quick

Connect II™ ink box. Slide tubes into the holder for placement.

- 8 -

13. Press the ink button to move the print head back to the ink cartridge parked position.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed an R1800 Quick Connect II ink system and printer.

ƒ You may want to remove the printer lid or leave it open at all times.

ƒ You may have a little air showing in your lines, but this will clear after a few prints.

ƒ If you are going to leave your system without using it for several days, you should clamp your lines with the tube clamps.

ƒ Do not raise the ink box higher than the printer.

Tips for Using the QuickConnect II™ System

Make sure you install the SubliJet IQ Driver and theChromaBlast

Driver™ from the CD that came with your Quick Connect II system.

Perform a nozzle check from the SubliJet and ChromaBlast Driver™.

A few cleanings may be necessary to get a good nozzle check.

Check the support tube connections periodically.

Ensure the support arm is securely attached and not drooping, and that the lid props are firmly attached. If the support arm droops too low, the tubing could scrape the bottom of the printer.

Check the ink level in your ink bags periodically.

As the bags empty, they flatten in appearance. Before beginning a large print job, check the ink bags to ensure enough ink is available to finish the job.

Ink indicator shows as low, even though ink bags are full.

The ink levels shown are based on using cartridges, not bulk systems, therefore the ink level indication is not accurate and should not be used to judge the level of ink in reaming in the Quick

Connect bags. To reset your ink indicator levels to continue printing, turn off the printer via the front power button and leave it off for 15 or more seconds or press the cartridge replacement button twice

How to remove the QuickConnect II™ system from the printer:

Clamp off the tubes before removing. The cartridges may drip slightly when removed from the printer because they are filled with more ink than the sponge can retain. Keep the cartridges above the level of the ink bags until you are able to plug the exit holes with electrical tape. Please note the exit port area must be perfectly dry or the tape won’t stick.

- 10 -

Selecting Paper - Sublimation

For information on selecting the appropriate paper to use with your SubliJet IQ™ inks, please check our website at http://www.sublimation.com/support/ or call your authorized SubliJet reseller. While the use of copy paper or other inkjet paper will not harm your printer, the transferred results may be light, splotchy, or uneven. Some papers may even stick to the surface or leave a visible residue.

Heat Transfer Instructions - Sublimation

Because you can print on a variety of surfaces, you need to take all variables of the surface into account when selecting time, temperature, and pressure. Some of the variables are:

„ thickness of surface,

„

„ how fast the surface absorbs heat, coatings used on the material to create a receptive surface for sublimation inks (ceramics, metals, etc.), accuracy of heat press (time, temperature, and pressure).

„

The information listed below are only guidelines. Due to the differences in heat presses and the various materials you will be printing on, it is not possible to give absolute figures. You should check with your supplier for specific heat transfer instructions or experiment to find your own preferred settings.

Printing and Heat Transfer Instructions – ChromaBlast cotton decoration inks

Recommended Applications

White or light colored fabrics in 100% cotton.

PRINTING

Print using the supplied ChromaBlast Driver program only.

The print side of ChromaBlast media is opposite the ChromaBlast logo.

• For the R1800, place print side face up in the printer tray.

Mirror Image: Check this box in the ChromaBlast Driver to ensure the image prints in reverse and that text appears correctly when image is transferred. If your image is already reversed in your graphic program, leave this box unchecked.

TRANSFERRING THE IMAGE USING A COMMERCIAL HEAT PRESS

1. If desired, you may trim the non-printed area before transferring, leaving .25 in. margin around the printed area.

2. Place garment on the heat press. Cover with ChromaBlast paper with image face down.

3. Press image according to proper pressure, heat, and time settings.

4. Peel the paper off the shirt while the shirt is still hot using an even motion.

5. Stretch the image area while the shirt is hot from both left to right and top to bottom to reduce the hand.

HEAT PRESS SETTINGS

• Pressure: Heavy. If using a pneumatic press, set the pressure to 60 psi.

• Temperature and Time: 350°F (176°C) for 45-60 seconds

Due to variations in cotton garments and in heat presses, time and temperature can be adjusted for preferred performance up to 400°F for 25 seconds. Some scorching may occur, but will wash out.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Store ChromaBlast media in a cool, dry area within the provided plastic storage bag. Do not remove from carton until ready to use.

Easy Color is a fast, simple way of choosing a color management scheme. You choose an Easy Color setting based on the composition of the original image. The chart below lists some guidelines for when to choose different Easy Color settings. Choosing a setting and clicking the apply button automatically sets the bitmap, vector, and output settings found on the advanced tab*.

Color Correction Preset – Sets the color correction, the mirror, and the print quality options.

Easy Color Icon Easy Color Description

Photo – Realistic

When to select: If your source image is a photograph or a photographic scene.

Color Management Goal: Realistic color reproduction. The goal is to reproduce the transferred image with color that is as close as possible to the input image.

Clip Art and Text

When to select: If your source image is clip art, text, or a mixture of the two.

Color Management Goal: The goal is to generate colors that are vivid and contrast well with each other. The overall emphasis is to keep the transferred colors close to the input colors but still add a little extra “pop” to the colors.

Art Logo

When to select: If your source image is clip art, text, or a mixture of the two and you want to increase the intensity of the colors.

Color Management Goal: The goal is to generate colors that are vivid and contrast well with each other. Unlike the “Clip Art and Text” setting, Art Logo emphasizes vivid output at the expense of color accuracy.

ColorSure™ Spot Colors

When to select: For all image types (bitmaps, scans, clipart, text, etc...) that were designed using the ColorSure palette. (See appendix C for details on using

ColorSure to design your artwork).

Color Management Goal: Generate consistent output that reproduces colors based on the ColorSure palette.

ColorSure™ Photos

When to select: When you have a mix of bitmap and vector (text, clipart, or shapes) and only the vector elements were designed using the ColorSure palette.

Color Management Goal: Generate output that reproduces photographic data using the Photo - Realistic setting and uses ColorSure™ Spot Colors for the vector components of the artwork.

- 26 -

*If you want to know what an Easy Color setting is really doing, choose a setting, click apply, and click on the advanced tab. Your Easy Color choices are always reflected in the advanced section .

Print Palette Button – Prints the ColorSure palette for the selected substrate. ColorSure is a method for reproducing exact spot colors. The two main components are: 1) the transferred palette and 2) the

CorelDraw, Corel PhotoPaint, and Adobe swatches. For a complete description on how to use

ColorSure to get perfect spot colors, see appendix C.

Group 2 - Color Settings (Advanced Mode)

Overview

This tab gives you access to all of the color management controls available in PowerDriver R1800

IQ . Color correction allows you to create transfers from all kinds of images, from photorealistic images to spot color logos. For maximum flexibility, PowerDriver R1800 IQ lets you color correct bitmap and vector elements differently, even if they are in the same graphics file. For example, if you scan a photograph and import it into CorelDraw, PowerDriver will use the color management settings that have been selected for Bitmap. If you then add text on top of the bitmap image,

PowerDriver will use the color management settings that have been selected for Vector. The photograph and the text will be color corrected differently! Why? You can now sublimate images with realistic photographic backgrounds that have vivid spot color text.

Vector and Bitmap Explanation

Bitmaps are a grid of pixels. Bitmaps come from digital cameras, scanners, and photo CDs.

Bitmaps can also be created in applications like Corel PhotoPaint or Adobe PhotoShop. Bitmaps have file extensions like GIF, JPG, BMP, and TIF. Vector components consist of shapes, curves, lines, and text. They are created in programs such as CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator. Higher end programs like CorelDraw can combine Vector and Bitmaps into a single image. As a rule of thumb, if the object in your image is made of curves, text, shapes, or fills, it will be color corrected using the PowerDriver Vector settings. All other image types will be color corrected based on the

PowerDriver R1800 IQ Bitmap setting.

Bitmap & Vector Options

ƒ Intense – This kicks the color intensity and saturation to the extreme. This setting does not try to keep color accurate; its main goal is to produce deep dark colors. Artwork, graphics, logos, and text are good candidates for this setting. Some photographs will look good but typically, this setting is too intense to be used with photographs. This can be set for either Bitmap or

Vector images.

ƒ Vivid – This setting is most suitable for images where it is important that the colors are vivid and contrast well with each other. Artwork, graphics, logos, and text, as well as photographs of landscapes or still life are good candidates for the Vivid setting. This can be set for either

Bitmap or Vector images.

ƒ Saturated - The Saturated setting will make the colors in your image more intense. Saturated output tries to remain color accurate with a slight bump in intensity.

ƒ Realistic (Bitmap ONLY) - This setting is most suitable for reproducing skin tones in scanned photographs.

ƒ Original (Vector ONLY) - This setting is most suitable for reproducing life-like clipart.

ƒ ColorSure Checkbox - ColorSure is used to replace specific colors in your image with a spot color chosen from the ColorSure palette. This resulting spot color enhancement is not affected by color setting. A ColorSure spot color will ALWAYS print the same. See Appendix C for an overview of ColorSure.

- 27 -

ColorSure Options

ƒ Print Palette Button – Prints the ColorSure palette for the selected substrate. ColorSure is a method for reproducing exact spot colors. The two main components are: 1) the transferred palette and 2) the CorelDraw, Corel PhotoPaint, and Adobe swatches. For a complete description on how to use ColorSure to get perfect spot colors, see appendix C.

ƒ Custom Palette Button – This button launches the Custom Palette utility, which enables you to add, edit, import, and export custom colors to the ColorSure palette. If you need to precisely match a specific color, the Color Finder tool makes this a breeze. For a complete description on how to use the Custom Palette, see appendix C.

Output Options

ƒ Mirror – When you transfer an image, the result will be “flipped” when compared to the printed image. In order for your transfers to come out correctly, you must flip the image before transferring.

ƒ Fast Copies – Turn fast copies on if you are printing five or more pages of the same image.

When Fast Copies is enabled, PowerDriver will first load the printer data into a buffer and then spool the data to the printer. This feature frees the computer to perform other tasks while the printer prints in the background.

ƒ High Speed – If the printer supports multiple resolutions, choose the most appropriate setting.

For soft substrates, the High Speed option works well.

ƒ High Quality – If the printer supports multiple resolutions, choose the most appropriate setting. For hard substrates, choose the High Quality option.

Group 3 – Printer Options

ƒ Utilities – Click this button to display a utilities screen. From the utilities screen you can print a nozzle check pattern, run a print head cleaning cycle, align the printer’s print head, spool a

PowerDriver R1800 IQ print file to the printer, and print a page of primary ink colors.

ƒ Help – This will display a help dialog box for an easy overview of the PowerDriver R1800 IQ driver functions and settings. Also contains a link to the Sawgrass Technologies website.

ƒ Register – If the PowerDriver R1800 IQ product has not been registered, click this button for instructions on how to register the product and unlock all the features.

ƒ Input Profile – This option allows you to specify an input profile that the driver will use when color correcting your image. If you are printing scanned artwork and your scanner manufacturer provided ICC profiles for your scanner model, select the profile here In order to select a profile IT MUST BE INSTALLED ON YOUR MACHINE. To install a profile on your machine, locate the profile on your machine using Windows Explorer. (PowerDriver supports both ICC and ICM profile types). Right click on the profile file name and select “Install”.

Appendix C: Using ColorSure™ and Custom Palette in

PowerDriver R1800 IQ

®

and ChromaBlast R1800.

I. Introduction

ColorSure is a method for reproducing exact spot colors. There are four main components of the

ColorSure System: 1.) the transferred palette; 2.) Color Finder; 3.) Custom Palette; and 4.) the

CorelDRAW and Adobe application palettes / swatches.

1. ColorSure Palette: This is your main color palette that includes a wide variety of over 150 commonly used colors.

2. Color Finder: If a color you need is not on the ColorSure palette, the Color Finder tool allows you to locate the exact custom color you are looking for.

3. Custom Palette: With the Custom Palette feature, you can add new custom colors to the existing ColorSure Palette mentioned in step 1.

4. Application Palettes: You can add your Color Finder colors to an existing application palette, or you can add multiple custom colors to new, custom palette files (*.cpl, *.acl, etc.).

II. Printing the ColorSure Palette

The first step you will want to take is to print and transfer your ColorSure palette to the various substrates you will be using. Most likely you will have customers who desire precise colors.

Having your ColorSure palette available allows the customer to choose the color from the palette that is the closest match to what they want, and this gives you a starting point for finding the exact custom color that will match your customer’s needs.

To print the ColorSure palette, follow the steps below:

ƒ Click ‘Start’ and navigate to the ‘Printers and Faxes’ folder. Right-click on your

PowerDriver R1800 IQ or ChromaBlast R1800 icon and select ‘Printing Preferences’ from the menu. You may also open PowerDriver R1800 IQ or ChromaBlast R1800 from within an Adobe or Corel program by going to File, Print, and choosing the PowerDriver R1800 IQ or ChromaBlast R1800 printer from the pull-down menu. Click Properties to open

PowerDriver.

ƒ Choose the paper size you will be printing the palette to (Letter, Legal, etc)

ƒ Choose the substrate that you will be transferring the palette to.

ƒ Select the speed / resolution of the palette – High Speed or High Quality.

ƒ Be sure to check the box to mirror your print, click ‘Print Palette,’ and then transfer the palette to the previously selected substrate.

ƒ You now have a visual representation of how the ColorSure palette colors will appear on that particular substrate.

- 40 -

III. Designing Your Artwork

By picking colors from the ColorSure palette, you will be able to consistently reproduce colors in a reliable manner. To assist you in designing your artwork, PowerDriver R1800 IQ and

ChromaBlast R1800 installs three palettes: two for Adobe products and one for Corel products.

These colors match the palette that is printed from within PowerDriver and ChromaBlast drivers.

ƒ To open the ColorSure Palette in Corel 9,10, 11 or 12 choose Window | Color Palette |

Open Palette. Select the file “ColorSure IQ/CB CMYK”

ƒ To open the ColorSure Palette in Illustrator, choose Window | Swatch Libraries | Other

Library. Navigate to where it was installed to when you installed PowerDriver: C:\Program

Files\Sawgrass\PowerDriver\Adobe Illustrator and hit Open. For easier access to the

Palette file copy it from this [above] path to Illustrator10\Presets\Swatches and

it will show up in your pull-down list directly under the Swatch Libraries menu. Other versions of Illustrator will have similar steps.

ƒ To open the ColorSure Palette in Adobe PhotoShop, choose the Swatches Palette, click the option arrow on the palette, choose Replace Swatches and pick the “ColorSure IQ/CB

CMYK” file.

HINT

After you have the ColorSure palette loaded into CorelDraw, move the cursor over each color. As the cursor hovers over each different color, the ColorSure name is displayed in the status area at the bottom of the screen.

IV. Using Color Finder

After printing and transferring the ColorSure Palette, you see that you have an array of colors to work with. There will be times, however, when the color you need is not included in the ColorSure

Palette. This is where the Color Finder tool comes in handy.

The Color Finder tool allows you to start with a specific color (e.g. navy blue) and find similar colors in the same family by adding and subtracting up to three colors (CMYKRB) called ‘Step

Colors.’ For example, starting with navy blue with a CMYKRB value of 60,60,0,40,0,0 and choosing two step colors (e.g. cyan and magenta) would expand the original navy blue in four directions (more cyan, less cyan, more magenta, and less magenta). This expanded color chart – specific to a particular substrate and printing speed – is outputted directly to your printer.

- 41 -

How to use Color Finder:

ƒ Open the PowerDriver window as instructed in “Printing the ColorSure Palette” outlined in

Section II.

ƒ First, make sure you select your desired Substrate, Output (High Speed or High Quality), and the Mirror option from the Printing Preferences window. Click Apply at the bottom of the window. This is a very important step as it will affect the final printed output.

ƒ At the bottom of the window, click the Custom Palette button; this will open the Custom

Palette Utility window. not wish to use Color Chooser, you have the option to manually enter the Start Color values in the CMYKRB boxes.

▬ To use Color Chooser, simply click on the ‘Color Chooser’ button in the top right of the Custom Palette Utility window. You can then choose a color from the basic color selection, or you can click on the ‘Define Custom Colors’ button at the bottom of the window. This will display a color matrix. To define a custom color, click anywhere in the matrix. Use the slider at the right of the matrix to adjust luminosity. Clicking ‘OK’ will automatically fill the CMYKRB boxes with the corresponding values.

▬ For advanced users, CMYKRB values can be determined by printing out a Custom

Palette, which is outlined in the next section.

You may alter the chosen color’s CMYKRB value by selecting two or three Step Colors.

Using multiple step colors will present you with a greater range and variety of colors to choose from.

▬ For instance, if you choose to modify your Start Color with two steps, then Step

Color 1 will change its values on the X (horizontal) axis and Step Color 2 will change its values on the Y (vertical) axis.

▬ If you modify your Start Color with three steps, Step Color 1 will remain the same.

However Step Color 2 and Step Color 3 will form an imaginary ‘X’ and their values will change on opposing diagonal Y axes.

ƒ Next, determine what Step Size you want to apply to the Color Finder palette. This is simply a question of how much you want your Start Color to fluctuate. If your Start Color is close to the color you are looking for, use a low Step Size (i.e. 5-10). However, if your start color is not close to what you are looking for, use a higher Step Size. You can enter any

Step Size value between 1 and 40.

ƒ As an example, let’s say your Start Color is C:20, M:100, Y:150, K:0, R:0, B:0 and you select Cyan and Magenta to be your Step Colors. You also enter a Step Size of 10. When the ‘Print Colors’ button is clicked, your Start Color will be in the middle of the Color Finder palette and from there each color will vary the Cyan and Magenta values by 10.

ƒ When you are finished selecting the Start Color, Step Colors, and the Step Size, click on the Print Colors button. This will print your custom Color Finder palette directly to your printer.

ƒ After printing the Color Finder palette, transfer it to your selected substrate and then try to match your desired color to one that is on the palette. If you find a suitable match, you are finished using the Color Finder tool. Move on to Section V. The Custom Palette.

ƒ If you couldn’t find an accurate match on the first printed Color Finder palette, don’t worry.

Follow the easy steps below, and you can find a more suitable custom color.

1. First, try to locate a new Start Color from the palette that is closer than the original color.

2. Next, after finding a more suitable Start Color, write down that color’s CMYKRB value. Here is how to obtain this value. There are numbers under each color that are dependant upon which Step Colors you chose. For example, it might say C:70

M:120. Take note of these values. Then, at the bottom left of the Color Finder palette you will see a full set of CMYKRB values. The new Start Color’s CMYKRB value would be C:70, M:120 and whatever the YKRB values are from the full set.

3. Lastly, plug the CMYKRB values for the new Start Color into the boxes in Color

Finder, choose your Step Size, and click on Print Colors once again. Continue with steps 1-3 until you find your desired color.

V. The Custom Palette

Let us assume that you have found the exact color you need using the Color Finder tool. What you will want to do next is apply these custom color values to either an existing palette, or to create a new custom palette altogether. This allows you access to this color again should the same job arise.

How to use Custom Palette:

ƒ First, you need to assign the CMYKRB values of the matched color from the Color Finder palette to the Output Color CMYKRB fields in the Custom Palette section.

ƒ Give your new custom color a descriptive Name in its designated field (e.g. IBM Blue).

ƒ Next, assign an RGB Input Color value. There are two methods to establish this value.

- 44 -

1. If you have the original file, sample the color that was matched in your graphic design application with the eye dropper tool. This will give you the RGB value of that color.

Input this value into the RGB Input Color fields of the Custom Palette section.

2. If you do not have the original file or the artwork has not yet been designed, simply click on the ‘Input Color Chooser’ button, and then click on “Define Custom Colors”. From the color matrix, find a color that closely resembles the color that you are adding to the custom palette. At the bottom-right of the color matrix window are the RGB values.

Simply click ‘OK’ and the RGB Input Color values will be automatically entered. Please take note of these RGB values for later use in your design applications. color to the palette for all substrates or just the current substrate. Click ‘YES’ here unless you have the same custom color saved on palettes for other substrates. Another window will then ask you if you want to save the custom color for all resolutions or just the current one. Click ‘YES’ here unless you have the same custom color saved on palettes for other resolutions.

ƒ Lastly, click the Save Palette button. When finished, simply Exit out of the window.

* The ‘Import Palette’ and ‘Export Palette’ buttons are convenient to have in the event you need to transfer palettes to and from different computers.

VI. Adding Swatches to your Application Palette:

It is possible to add your custom color(s) swatch to an application palette as well. You will need to take note of the Input Color RGB value that you assigned in the previous step in order to create the new swatch. Refer to your specific design application software’s manual for instructions on this.

Tips for Successful Sublimation

POLYESTER FABRIC

Maintain appropriate heat press times.

ƒ Shortened pressing times will result in good surface color but the sublimation dyes will not completely penetrate the polyester fibers. This leaves the dyes more susceptible to wash out.

ƒ Longer pressing times will cause the dye molecules to penetrate deeper into the fiber, creating a washed out look. For guidelines on transfer times, see the section entitled Heat Transfer Instructions.

Maintain appropriate heat press temperatures & pressure

ƒ The correct temperature setting is vital for achieving desired results. Higher temperatures can damage the polyester fibers to the point that they cannot properly “hold” the dyes. For guidelines on transfer temperatures, see the section entitled Heat Transfer Instructions.

ƒ Too much pressure on the heat press may cause the dyes to penetrate too deeply into the fabric causing a washed out look. For guidelines on transfer pressure see the section entitled Heat Transfer

Instructions.

METAL

To obtain the best results when printing onto metal, place the transfer between the metal and an absorbent cloth or fresh, non-textured paper towel. This will absorb any dyes that pass back through the paper and any moisture released during the transfer process. If you have problems with inconsistently filled areas, this may alleviate the problem.

CERAMIC TILES & MUGS

When transferring onto ceramic tiles and mugs, immediately peel the paper off of the ceramic after removing it from the heat press. Once the paper has been removed, cool the ceramic by submerging it in cool water, or run water over it from a faucet. If paper residue remains on the surface of the ceramic, clean with citrus cleaner. If you experience a significant paper-sticking problem, call your SubliJet reseller for assistance.

Hanes Soft L’Ink

® Shirts

ƒ The presence of moisture in your fabric can lead to bleeding of the image. Remove moisture by prepressing your shirt for 10 seconds. Use Teflon sheets between the front and back of the shirt to prevent the inks from penetrating to the other side of the shirt. If dye residue from your heat press is being deposited on your shirts at any time, heat press a paper towel or similar absorbent material to remove it.

ƒ Using a lint brush before pressing can greatly reduce lint or debris on the shirt.

- 46 -

MOISTURE & HUMIDITY PROBLEMS

The addition of moisture to the sublimation process can cause unwanted results. Under normal circumstances, the small amount of moisture that can accumulate in your paper is absorbed directly into the transfer substrate; however hard substrates like metal and ceramic are unable to absorb excess moisture. Some of problems that are attributed to moisture include: color shifting (colors lose accuracy), bleeding of the image, and uneven transfer of solid filled areas

To avoid these problems

„

Keep your paper in a dry place.

„

„

„

If you suspect moisture, set the paper on your press for a few seconds. Do not press it. Just expose it to the warmth. The heat radiating from the press should help evaporate most of the moisture.

To eliminate moisture in fabric, press the fabric for 10 seconds before doing the heat transfer.

Use an absorbent cloth or fresh, non-textured paper towel behind the transfer sheet to absorb the moisture.
