Sublimation printing is still the industry standard for the best and brightest color on a wide range of synthetic fabrics. From 100% Polyester, Microfibre and other synthetic fabric for cost-effective scatter cushions to the stretchiest Lycra for sportswear, our sublimation printing with delivering superb results every time. Many users have had great success with sublimation; they have achieved consistent results every time.  The images are bright, vivid, and match the colors that they have desired.

A few users have had some problems with their images and here are some of the most common mistakes made when using sublimation.  We have duplicated mistakes purposely so that you can compare with our results!

Nozzle Check problems

If the color of your image is off.  For example, if your image has a red tint or other color tints, there’s a high chance that it is because your nozzles are not firing properly in your sublimation printer. At the beginning of the day, I always print a nozzle check before I start any jobs as this will ensure that all nozzles are firing.  We suggest daily nozzle checks to prevent virtually all clogs. Here’s a comparison between a perfect nozzle check and one that isn’t.
Check to make sure you are using sublimation paper.

Sublimation requires special sublimation paper for the sublimation inks to release properly when heated.  It is easy to mix up sublimation paper with normal paper as they are both white and feel very similar to one another.  Most standard sublimation papers are only coated on one side (however there are some that are coated on both sides).  You can compare the two sides of the paper to tell sublimation paper and plain paper apart.  The coated side is usually brighter than the uncoated side.  With plain papers, both sides will be the same brightness.

Printing on the wrong side of the sublimation paper

You may be printing on the wrong side of the paper.  As stated above, the coated side of the sublimation paper is brighter than the uncoated side. So be sure to print on the brighter side if you are printing on the wrong side of the paper, you will get the same result as when you use plain paper.


Using the wrong inks

If you accidentally installed the OEM inks that came with your printer instead of sublimation inks, this is what you will get.

Sublimation is easy to learn the method to print onto a variety of substrates including 100% polyester clothing, bags, ceramic mugs, tiles, plaques, etc. But the instructions have to be followed accurately to achieve consistent results.  Also, the setup of your sublimation printer has to be correct.
