-
Design Creation:
- Use graphic design software to create your artwork. Ensure the design is in a high-resolution format suitable for printing.
-
Printing the Transfer:
- Print your design onto a special sublimation paper using sublimation ink and a printer designed for dye-sublimation.
-
Preparation of the Bag:
- Ensure the sequin bag is clean and free of any dust or debris. If the bag has a specific side for printing, identify that area.
-
Heat Transfer:
- Place the printed sublimation paper on the designated area of the bag.
- Use a heat press to apply heat and pressure. The typical temperature is around 385°F (196°C) for about 45 seconds, but check specific guidelines for your materials.
-
Cooling:
- After pressing, allow the bag to cool down before removing the transfer paper. This ensures the ink has properly set into the fabric.
-
Final Touches:
- Check the printed area for quality and make sure the design has transferred correctly. Clean up any edges if necessary.
-
Usage:
- The bag is now ready for use! The design will be vibrant and durable, thanks to the sublimation process.
This process allows for high-quality, long-lasting designs that won’t fade or peel over time.
