Sublimation On Cotton

Can you do sublimation on dark shirts?

 

Regular sublimation transfers must be applied to white polyester garments or poly coated hard substrates. The great thing about Siser Easy Subli is that it allows you to do sublimation on cotton and colors.

 

It’s made to be applied to light and dark cotton or poly shirts, cotton/poly blends, even fleece!

 

Pros:

  • Sublimate onto cotton, poly blends, colored polyester
  • Feels soft to the touch
  • Low application time and temperature
  • Multiple vibrant colors without layering
  • Siser engineered
  • Quality inks
  • Easy to work with
  • Compatible with SawGrass printers
  • Use EasySubli sheets with regular sublimation ink

Cons:

  • Unknown how the inks will work with other sub printers
  • Transfer sits on top of garment

 

Low Temp Sublimation Transfers

Regular sublimation also needs to be applied at high temperatures for longer time periods (for example, 400°F for 45 seconds). Siser Easy Subli has a much shorter press and heat time of 310°F for 15 seconds (on a shirt).

 

Usually, pressing sublimation transfers at 400°F really affects the garment that you are transferring onto. It is an extremely high temperature that can damage garments and other substrates.

 

That’s why it can’t be understated what an innovation being able to press sublimation transfers at 310°F is… your garments will thank you for it!

 

Regular transfers are generally pressed for 30 seconds, while Easy Subli transfers only need 15 seconds!

 

This is good because, again, your garments are not under heat and pressure for an excessive amount of time, possibly damaging them. But, perhaps even better, you’re saving tons of time doing transfers in half the usual time!

 

How To Use Siser Easy Subli

 

The best way to learn and understand how to use Siser Easy Subli is to watch the process. Check out these demonstrations and tutorials for the full low down.

 

First up, Joe from Siser gives us:

  • an overview of Easy Subli
  • how to use Easy Subli with Silhouette Cameo
  • a bunch of Easy Subli project examples (fleece, 50/50 blends, 100% cotton…)

 

 

In this next video, HPN have compared Siser Easy Subli ink with SawGrass Sublijet ink. You can see the difference on a range of substrates (caps, t-shirts, aluminum photo panel, 100% poly tees, etc.).

 

The results demonstrate that SawGrass Sublijet ink is better on all the usual sublimation blanks, but, of course, Siser Easy Subli is best on cotton and dark fabrics.

 

 

The Easy Subli Inks have been formulated especially for printing on Siser Easy Subli HTV, and that is where you get the best results. It’s a bonus that they can also be used for traditional sublimation.
