Sublimation Heat Press Cheat Sheet Printable

The world of sublimation crafting can be overwhelming! These cheats sheets give you time, temperature, and pressure settings for common materials!

These sublimation cheat sheets take the guesswork out of pressing the most common blanks, plus each sheet has room for adding your own! Each sheet comes with specific tips and tricks to get the best sublimation transfer with each type of blank.

Includes:

• Cheat Sheet Quick View
• Ceramic, Sandstone & Porcelain
• Fabric
• Neoprene
• Metal
• Other blanks

Each Cheat Sheet Includes:

Examples of blanks: Yes, you know that ceramic mugs exist, but did you think about ornaments or coasters? T-shirts yes, but also garden flags and bandanas! This category section at the top is designed to give you ideas for future substrate possibilities!

Sublimation Time: The amount of press time you’ll need to sublimation your blank varies WILDLY depending on your blank. From a mere 30 seconds on some blanks, up to five minutes or more for others! Use my guide as a starting place and then make notes if you find the sweet spot.

Temperature: The “temp” setting is all-important because it partly determines whether or not you’ll have bright, brilliant color. You’ll use medium pressure for most substrates, but there are some that need light or heavy pressure!

Pressure: What is the proper pressure setting for your heat press or Cricut EasyPress?

Notes: If you find specific times and temperatures that work best for you from the range I’ve offered, there’s plenty of space to make your own notes!

Tips & Tricks: Like I said, every sublimation blank is different. But within broader categories, there are tips and tricks for making things better.

For example, you want to know the polyester/cotton count of your fabrics or else you’ll end up with faded transfers.
