Set that transfer paper above the item to be decorated and, using a heat press, create pressure for a minute at a temperature of around 400°F. As time, pressure and temperature work as an unite so it would cause the sublimation inks on the transfer paper to turn into a gas, which will then permeate any polymer fibers they encounter. The ultimate result is a permanent image that won’t fade, peel, scratch, or crack.
