UNISUB
Prepare the Substrate by peeling the transparent protective film off the
surface of the substrate (if applicable) and be sure you are working
with a clean, lint-free surface. To aid in the film removal process,
touch laminated edge of blank product to corner of heated platen on
your heat press for about 5 seconds. Plastic will shrink, allowing you to
peel away more easily and reduce chipping the coating.
The starting dwell time for all Unisub products (metals, plastics, MDF)
is 60 seconds under 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) with medium
pressure. When doing bulk items in a single pressing, you may need
to increase overall dwell time 10-15 seconds to counter loss of heat.
Transfer is arranged image side down to blank, white surface (after
removing protective laminate film). Consider taping transfer to back of
product only as some products (e.g. standard plaques) have foiled
edges. Use only heat resistant tape.
When storing or packaging finished sublimated products, do not stack
finished items, either when hot or cold, face-to-face. Do not wrap
finished pieces in shrink wrap or place them in a plastic bag for
shipping.

blanks and

materials.
Hanes Soft L’Ink
® Shirts
The presence of moisture in your fabric can lead to bleeding of the
image. Remove moisture by pre-pressing 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.
Using a lint brush before pressing can greatly reduce lint or debris on
the shirt.
