Laser Dark 2 Step Transfers – When marrying the 2 sheets together it is best to make sure your lower platen is hot. You can hover your press over it prior to printing or do a short press for 10 to 15 seconds with nothing in the heat press. Also once you do marry the 2 sheets together, peel them apart immediately on the press so they stay warm. This helps get a clean consistent peel and will make for a better transfer to the garment. Bonus – Don’t use a teflon cover sheet on the lower platen as that tends to reflect away the heat and can cause issues.

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.
