Can you sublimate on hot pads?

Yes, you can sublimate on hot pads. Sublimation printing is highly effective on hot pads, especially those made of heat-resistant polyester, which is perfect for this process. The combination of high heat and pressure in sublimation transfers the ink deeply into the fabric, creating vibrant, durable prints that maintain the pad's texture and functionality.

Can you use sublimation or toner heat transfer with hot pads?

Yes, both sublimation and toner heat transfer methods can be used with hot pads, particularly if they are crafted from polyester. Sublimation is excellent for vivid, full-color designs, while toner heat transfer is more suited for simpler graphics or text. Both techniques infuse the ink into the fabric, ensuring long-lasting prints and preserving the pad's heat-resistant qualities.

How long does it take to sublimate a hot pad?

Sublimating a hot pad typically requires about 1-3 minutes, depending on the heat press and the size of the design.

How long can a sublimated hot pad sit before being pressed?

A sublimated hot pad can sit for a short period before pressing, but it's advisable to press it soon after printing to achieve the best quality results.

What temperature should you use for sublimating hot pads?

Hot pads should be sublimated at a temperature range of 350-400°F (175-204°C), ensuring optimal ink transfer and vibrant results.

Do you let a sublimated hot pad cool before handling?

Yes, it's important to let the sublimated hot pad cool before handling to ensure the design is properly set and to avoid the risk of burns.
