📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare & Print Your Design
    • Ensure your design is mirrored and print it on sublimation paper using sublimation ink.
    • Import the corresponding cut file (or the design itself if your software supports print & cut) into your cutting machine’s software.
  1. Heat Press Setup & Transfer to Vinyl
    • Place the sublimation vinyl/sticker material face up (printable/sublimatable side up) on your heat press.
    • Align the printed sublimation paper face down on top of the vinyl.
    • Cover with silicon paper or a Teflon sheet to protect your heat press platen.
    • Press using the settings above (190°C, 40 seconds, light pressure).
    • Once pressed, carefully remove the sublimation paper from the vinyl.
  1. Cut Your Design
    • Load the now sublimated vinyl into your cutting machine.
    • Use your cutting machine to cut out the pattern, ensuring it aligns with the transferred design (use registration marks if your system supports them).
    • Weed (remove) any excess vinyl from around your cut design.
    • | Tip: You can also cut the design manually with scissors or a craft knife after transferring the design if you do not have a cutting machine.


⚠️ Key Tips for Success

  • Mirror Image: Essential for the final design to appear correctly on the vinyl.
  • Light Pressure: Prevents excessive squashing or melting of the vinyl material.
  • Accurate Cutting: For clean, professional-looking stickers, ensure your cutting machine is well-calibrated, or cut carefully by hand.
