Best File Format for Sublimation – You can use any of the common file formats with you graphic application. Common ones are .jpg, .tiff, .pdf, .eps, .cdr, .ai, etc. If you are using a RIP then those programs have certain formats that work best. It is best to use Adobe 1998 RGB color space in your graphics application because it has the largest color gamut.  Most digital cameras use SRGB colors so it is best to convert those files to Adobe 1998 RGB in your graphics application. The best resolution to use is 150 dpi at 100% of final size.  Anything that is higher in resolution is a waste of memory. Anything that is lower in resolution your will risk poor quality images.

How do I know the sublimated color is going to be correct without using an expensive blank to test? – As we sublimation producers all know, the image on the printed paper never looks as good as the final transfer. Sometimes you have a project where you have a limited amount of blanks to try or you just do not want to ruin an expensive one. Here is a good way to see if your colors are going to be what you want without wasting anything. Print your file as you normally would then take that paper image and place the image side to a blank piece of paper. Next press the two together in your heat press for about five seconds. Remove the blank sheet, and now your transfer image has brightened up, giving you a good idea of what the final product will look like. The best thing is you can still use the transfer after the color test.

Email Marketing – My tip is to make sure you have a good plan for email marketing. I suggest using a service as this is a cost that will pay for itself in no time.
