    Sublimating to Umbrellas?

    Hi all,

    Quick question :)

    Can anyone tell me the correct temperature, pressing duration and pressure to sublimate umbrellas? 100% polyester. The brollies are from Xpres/Ralawise.

    Angie got it wrong first time:


    Thanks

    John

    Never done brollies John but I'd suggest 180 to 190 deg C for 60secs, medium pressure, as a starting point. This seems to work fine on other 100% poly materials that I've tried such as shoe bags, drawstring bags, totes etc.

    :) :) :)

    I think the problem occured because of confusion between 350 - fahrenheit or celsius - choosing 350degC was the wrong choice!!!!

    350F at 60 secs works :) 350C at 60 secs doesn't!

    I have done a few - used the same time and temp that I use for t-shirts.
    Careful not to melt the frame - some golf umbrellas have plastic arms.

    Thanks all,

    I think we got it right with 180c for 60 secs.

    Cheers
