This video will demonstrate how to sublimate flip flops specifically designed for sublimation
You will need:
Sublimation ready flip flops
Sawgrass sublimation inks
Heat resistant tape
Two sheets of protective paper
Sublimation transfer paper
To begin the process create the images using graphics programs like CorelDraw or Photoshop
Size the graphics as needed
We created two rectangular shapes that are slightly larger than the flip flop
When sending the design to the printer use the proper settings of the Sawgrass colour management software to ensure the best quality
Print the images using Sawgrass sublimation inks and compatible inkjet printer
Identify which side is the printable surface
Place the flip flops face down on top of the printed transfer and secure with the heat resistant tape
The images should be slightly larger than the substrate
Set the temperature of the press to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C)
Adjust the pressure for medium to heavy
Set the timer for 55 seconds
Place the sheet of protective paper on the bottom of the press
Place the substrate on the sheet with the transfer paper on top
Place the sheet of protective paper over the transfer and close the press
Open the press, remove the protective paper and quickly remove the transfer
This should be done smoothly to prevent any blurring the image
Please note that the items will be extremely hot
Flip flops are just one examples of the many unique products available for sublimation
