As sublimation systems can vary from each other, we do recommend to first
print a color-chart to test which color range works best with your system
(printer / ink / press). We do recommend to press it on a white textile, to
avoid any deviation of colors. If you don’t know how to create a color-chart,
feel free to use ours at www.forever-ots.com /

Glitter Color Chart.
We recommend to do a Nozzle Check before each use of the printer to guarantee a perfect transfer. Please read the instructions of your printer to see how it works. If nozzles are clogged or not working properly, it leads to unclean, torn edges or incomplete transfers. If nozzles are clogged or you have replaced any ink cartridge, execute a head cleaning.
TRANSFER PROCESS
-
Pre-heat your heat press. Make sure that the metal plate underneath the rubber mat is also hot.
-
Place the textile on your lower plate and pre-press it for 10 seconds.
-
Place the transfer paper immediately after printing on it onto the textile. The print out has to be transferred immediately, as long as it is still wet!
-
Press for 30-45 seconds.
-
Remove the transfer paper.
(Never take the T-Shirt off the press before the transfer paper has been peeled -
For a better washability put a sheet of Matt Finish Economy or Glossy Finish with the glossy side faced down onto your design and press again for 30 seconds with high pressure.

- When ironing cover the print with baking paper
ATTENTION
- You cannot transfer all printable colors. Please make sure that you are creating and selecting your designs with an high ink amount.
- We recommend to print a test chart with different colors to out which colors are working and which don‘t.
- You must transfer immediately after printig (the longer the time in between printing and pressing, the less would transfer)
Before starting a mass production, we recommend to make transfer and washing test with all materials. Important advice for double-sided printing on textiles: T-Shirts for a double-sided print (front side & backside), has to be put over the lower heat plate. In this case only one side will be treated with heat and you avoid that the applied design from the other side will be pressed out again. If your T-Shirt is yellowing, lay a piece of onto it during the transfer process.

TIPS:
- Use the Virtuoso Print Manager and the FOREVER Prole for printing with SAWGRASS SG400/800. All other sublimation printers should be used with the standard settings and standard driver. To install the Virtuoso Print Manager, download the instruction on www.forever-ots.com / Support / Downloads / Printing Instructions / Sublimation Printers / Virtuoso Print Manager Installation.
- If lines appear in the printouts, then a “Head Cleaning” is required.
- Ink should be replaced when the “Low Toner” warning message appears.
- “Head Cleaning” is required after ink cartridges are replaced.
- To prevent transfer issues, garments/surfaces should be cleaned before pressing the design.
- If particles are left after transferring to the garment, then reducing the pressure will prevent this.
- The rubber on the lower heat press plate should have a surface. If the rubber istoo soft then transfer issues will occur.
