Edging of Sublimation Transfer on Plate Does Not Come Out.... please help!

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I'm new to Sublimation and Pressing. I have been trying to make some festive plates for family but keep getting the same problem... The edging of the transfer does not come through after being pressed (please see attached).I'm wandering if this is a problem with the plate press itself (heat not distributed evenly) or other. I set the press to 400 degrees for 150 seconds as per manufacturers guide and have been using the correct blanks. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

more than likely heat wicking away at the edges - bet you are using a press that only applies heat to the middle.  hard to get the entire plate hot - maybe try preheating it in the oven first
