Sublimation Paper for Dark Cotton T-Shirts

Sublimation paper for dark cotton fabrics

Paper for dark or black fabrics only. Cotton and cotton blends will not bind sublimation ink and so therefor other papers are required. Our sublimation paper for cotton fabrics allows you to print to the paper and then press the paper to the cotton shirt.

Very easy to use.

Unlike standard sublimation paper used for pure polyester this paper will leave a medium to light but soft hand on the fabric.

All sheets come as 11″ x 17″. If you fold the sheets in half and cut on the fold they be can be used as 8.5″ x 11″

Designed for the inkjet heat transfer printing of photos and images to dark colored T-shirts, sweatshirts, mouse pads, puzzles and leather goods. This product can be die-cut or kiss-cut and moved with tape.

IMPORTANT:

We thoroughly test each of our products on various substrates using different transfer equipment. However, it is impossible for us to duplicate all variables using all substrates and transfer equipment. Therefore, it is essential that you test the paper prior to production using your equipment, methods, and substrate material. Heat presses vary in accuracy. Conduct tests to determine the best time and temperature to use with your equipment. Please keep in mind that the Seller’s and Manufacture’s maximum obligation shall be to replace any paper that has proven to be defective. Neither the Seller nor the Manufacturer shall be liable for any injury, direct or consequential, arising out of the use of, or inability to use this paper.
