    Sublimation is pale sad on polyester bag

    Hi,
    I tested sublimation on a 100% polyester canvas bag
    Sekabo A3 Press
    Paper poly 120
    Printing on Sawgrass 800
    Silicone mat between the heating plate and the bag
    Choice on Print manager: Polyester Fabrik
    The supplier tells us:
    Temperature 205° C
    Time 30 seconds
    Pressure 5 medium
    The first try is pale, sad the black is not frank
    We increased the pressure then went to 45 seconds.
    the result of the black is a little better but not frank
    Does anyone have an idea ?
    Thank you281393123_10220776868907957_8917527235485947092_n.jpg

    "Silicone mat between the heating plate and the bag"

    Maybe that's what is causing the issue. Either remove the mat and replace with a sheet of paper (greaseproof, or baking, or butcher's paper, ... whatever it's called down your way), or, as Justin has replied, increase the pressing time.

    Are your RGB values set at 0,0,0? Sometimes if you are converting from cmyk you are not getting a true black.
