Hello,
I am new to dye sublimation although i have done quite a bit of research i need some help with a problem i am facing.
i am aware that usually you cannot sublimate onto cotton products however you may of heard of "Forever" products which now offer a 100% cotton transfer paper.
The drawback of this media is that you have to use full tone colours and its not really suitable for photos, which is fine for what i need it for. "Forever's" website has a test colour chart which can be printed and transfered to check colours are correct and transfering.
As you can see from the picture below some of the colours are not transfering properly, i have tried different pressures, times and temperatures but i can't get a consistant result. The picture below is probably the best i have had.
From your experience what could i be doing wrong? Only thing i can think is that the press is not heating evenly.
Thanks.
