ASC365 dye-sublimation paper. Designed for aqueous, piezo, wide-format printers, the product transfers onto various sublimation surfaces, such as clothing, fabrics, metal and plastic signs, custom ceramics, banners and flags. The product reportedly features fast dry times and a 95% to 100% transfer efficiency on various heat-transfer presses.

PRINTING GUIDELINES

Printing:
Image side is wound to the outside of the roll. Printing is performed in ¡åmirror¡å image. Allow print to dry prior to transfer.
Printer & Ink Compatibility:
ASC365 paper has been tested and run successfully on most brands of inkjet printer systems equipped with dye sublimation inks. Epson printers have all proven to provide excellent results with various dye sub ink manufacturers. It is always recommended to determine the compatibility of the paper for use on your printer and heat press equipment.
Printer Settings:
A Heavy Coated Paper print mode is recommended for all printer brands and models. Do not over saturate the paper. It will result in bleed and will not enhance transfer color. The image often looks ¡åwashed out¡å prior to sublimation. Colors will intensify when transferred. Use ICC color profiles to optimize your particular printer/ink/RIP setup.
Material Storage:
To protect unused material, it is recommended to store material in its original packaging, in the poly bag at 59-86¡ãF / 15-30¡ãC and 30-70% RH.¡¡

SUBLIMATION GUIDELINES

Sublimation Process:
Sublimation ink has the ability to convert from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid form. Sublimation key ingredients are heat, pressure, and dwell time. When the heating process is completed, the image on the paper has been transferred to the item and has become part of the surface. No surface protection is needed. During the sublimation process, the ¡åpores¡å of the item open up and accept the ink/image. When the item is removed from the heat press, the pores close and the inks revert to a solid state resulting in a permanent, durable image that can not be rubbed or washed off. ASC365 dye sub paper provides 95-100% transfer efficiency on a variety of heat transfer presses.
Heat Press Conditions:
Sublimation conditions will vary depending on the heat transfer press being used. Internal testing found excellent results using 400¡ãF and a 30-45 second dwell time at 40-50 psi pressure. It is recommended to determine optimal temperature, pressure, and dwell time conditions for your heat press.
Compatible Sublimation Surfaces:
Surfaces for sublimation need to be specialty-coated or polymer-coated to accept the inks. Sublimation will not work on 100% cotton material. To achieve the best results, dye sublimation should be performed on white or light-colored surfaces.ASC365 dye sub paper can be used on textiles, metals, plastics, ceramics and porcelains as long as they are poly-coated and have a surface that will accept the dye sublimation inks.
Sublimation Applications:
Dye sublimation can be used in several applications. Most common applications include: clothing and fabrics (T-shirts, flags, tote bags), mouse pads, metal & plastic signs, license plates, coffee mugs, and custom ceramic tiles.

CORRECT USING SUBLIMATION PAPER
Notes:

1, Printing image on the rough surface coated by a special material, which can make the pressed result better.

2, Due to coating material on the paper, if the air is very dry, the paper will be curled a little. Generally keeps all paper into plastic bag, take around 10 sheets, turn the papers along long edge of the paper, (shiny surface is outside) put the papers in a mug, before printing, take one sheet paper from mug, bend the 4 corners of the paper to back (when printing, avoid printing head to touch the corner), put the paper into printer, printing immediately. Or keep the rough surface down, and put a heavy object above it.

3, When before printing, please keep the shiny surface outside, then roll the paper, and keep for 10 minutes.

4, After printing, waiting 1 - 2 mins for sublimation ink to dry, than make transfer.
