Hi,

I am pretty new to sublimation printing and I have a few questions:


  1. I know black takes the longest amount of time to sublimate but when pressed how much black ink should be left on the sublimation paper? I am printing with heavy paper (100gsm) and I might be putting down a little too much ink for a t-shirt but when I have pressed it I get good results but a good amount of ink is left. I have added 20 sec to the press time and I do not see much difference.
  2. When sublimating a t-shirt can insufficient pressure cause colours to shift on the image but all the lines and detail are prefect, or is this more likely a profiling issue?
  3. Why do ChromaLuxe Aluminium Panels recommend I press for less time with a small heat press 16x10 but large pneumatic heat press need to press for longer?


Thanks for the help!
