Sublimation Material Settings List
Sublimation Material Settings List. Do you always forget what time and temperatures are needed for your sublimation items? I do all the time! I had a list on my PC but I lost all my files when my PC died. So I wrote this blog post so it doesn’t get lost and I thought I would share it with you.

Important notice and disclaimer!! As all heat presses vary these figures are a guideline. These are the temperatures and timings that I use and are all in Celcius (I’m in the UK).
I will be adding more to the list as I try more products. If you have any queries please contact me.
