Temp and Time Settings
Using the correct temp and time is vital to obtaining a good press result with Sublimation. Below you will find some recommended temperatures and times for various heat presses and items.
These serve as a guide only and we recommend doing a test first before starting a production run.
Please take note these settings are recommended with BIZINBOX SUBLIMATION INK and a EPSON printer. If you are using any other inks or printers, please consult the ink supplier for temp and time settings.
