<t>Final Update:<br/>
<br/>
Having a smaller pre-press time 10-15s helped to reduce initial shrinkage. Afterwards securing the bands to the platen with tape parallel to the shrinkage helped keep the material in place.<br/>
Transfer paper is taped to the platen only, not to the material itself (for ...

Re: Ghosting Problem on Elastic material (fitness bands)
Do you have any experience with sublimation on lower temperatures?
Is it possible to mitigate material shrinkage that way?

Re: Ghosting Problem on Elastic material (fitness bands)
<t>Small Update:<br/>
<br/>
It seems the ghosting was a combination of paper blowout from the pneumatic press and shrinkage of the bands.<br/>
I've fixed the blowout problem with tons of thermal tape and patience for the bands to cool off, but there's still shrinkage even with 2-3 times of pre-press ...

Re: Ghosting Problem on Elastic material (fitness bands)
<t>Hello guys,<br/>
I am struggling with a material I want to sublimate. I am currently using 100gr sticky (tacky) paper transfers and a heat press with these settings:<br/>
- 80s preheat each side<br/>
- 80s press time<br/>
- 190 degrees Celsius (374 Fahrenheit)<br/>
- 4 bars pressure (58 psi)<br ...
