A-SUB is a professional manufacturer of sublimation paper for 20 years , possessing the most advanced technology and leading the development of the digital printing industry.

Q:How does sublimation work?

A: Basically, you’re transferring a special ink onto a special surface using heat. Using your Epson inkjet printer equipped with sublimation inks, you print to a high-quality inkjet coated paper. Then you position your printed page against the item to be printed (image facing the item), secure it if you need to (recommended for mugs and other hard items). You may want to use a Teflon sheet (or pellon sheet for mugs) to protect your item from scorching and to keep “ghost images” from being deposited on your heat platen, which may later be transferred to the next item you press (Just position the sheet between the heat element and the item). Then press. Be careful when removing the printed sheet, if it shifts against the item you printed, it may produce a “ghost image”.

Q: What printer do I need?

A: Our manufacturer has only been able to adapt this process to Epson printers. The Epson Stylus 800, 850, and 900 are the smaller printers that can be adapted. The Epson 1520 and 3000 are also adaptable to the process and can print much larger areas. Remember – It may not be better for your purposes to have a larger printer. If the items you will be printing are smaller than 8″X10.5″, you will only need the 800, 850, or 900. Also, be aware of the area limitations of your heat press. The 3000 uses 4 separate ink cartridges, (CMYK), while some other printers use one black cartridge and one tri-color cartridge.
