Procurement & Usage Tips (FAQ)
-
Q: Is 42g sublimation paper suitable for my printer?
-
A: Yes, 42g paper is compatible with most inkjet printers using dye-sublimation inks. However, because it is very thin, you must adjust your printer's media settings to "Thin Paper" or manually set the platen gap to prevent paper jams and ensure smooth feeding.
-
-
Q: What are the optimal temperature and time settings for transfer?
-
A: For best results, use a heat press temperature of 180°C–220°C for 10–30 seconds. Since 42g paper is lightweight, ensure even pressure is applied. We recommend doing a small test print first to fine-tune the settings for your specific fabric and machine.
-
-
Q: How should I store this paper to prevent quality issues?
-
A: Due to its light weight, 42g paper is highly sensitive to humidity, which can cause it to curl or wrinkle. Store it in a cool, dry place (ideally below 55% relative humidity) and keep it sealed in its original packaging when not in use.
