How to Apply Transfers to Light color Towels

For transferring onto towels and very wide weave fabrics, use a transfer that is capable of transferring with a hand-iron, but apply it with a heat press. Such transfers generally have a thicker coating and will adhere to the long fiber loops of a towel. In general, try to select towels that have shorter loops.

Light Colors
To transfer onto white/light colored towels, use an inkjet or laser iron-on transfer paper and apply with a heat press.


1. Place the towel to be printed on the lower platen.
2. Place the trimmed transfer paper image-side-down on the towel.
3. To protect the towel from discoloration from the heat, place another towel over the entire platen area. This protection towel can be reused repeatedly to protect the other towels you will be printing. I prefer to use a towel (instead of Teflon or Parchment) because of the texture which assists to press the transfer into the long fibers.
4. Follow the heat pressing (temperature and time) and peeling (cold or hot) instructions from the paper manufacturer for the rest of the process, except add 15 seconds to the time.
5. After the backing paper is peeled, place parchment paper on top of the image, cover with the protection towel, and press for 10 more seconds to post-press the image and make more secure. Peel the parchment while warm.

How to Avoid Blotchy Results Occurred in Sublimation Process

B lotches and spots in your transfers can happen   at any time  and anywhere . T his is a problem generally caused by excess moisture in the environment or on the substrat e. Left : Perfect transfer result.  Right : Blotches and spots in a poor paper Common   sublimation materials like polyester fabric, hardboard, plastic and even metal materials like aluminum and stainless steel can  be sublimated, and w hat happens when there is moisture on a substrate? When water is heated ,  it turns into steam vapor which starts to escape upward , however, since dye-sublimation ink also turns into a gas, the steam vapor from the areas that have even the smallest amounts of moisture clash with the sublimation gas which will  prevent a full and consistent transfer . So how to resolve this blotchy results ? The quick solution is to pre-press substrates immediately before applying & heat pressing the sublimation transfer. Pre-pressing is done by placing the item in the heat press, coverin

It is in this second step wherein sublimation, that is the chemical process in which heat and pressure deposited on the printed paper, inks become gas and actually takes place penetrate the polyester fiber . Therefore, to sublimate a f
