I made a try on a piece of polyester but the result was not too satisfactory, the image does not know completely transferred on the fabric.
175°C 90sec

Plz help.

try 185C for 60sec or 195C for 60 sec

Sorry it was by 197°C for 90sec

ok. so now was it 100% polyester? or poly cotton?? if so how many percent?
also what ink was used and paper please. it may give some ideas to others...

it was 100% polyester.
I'm using a Brother printer DCP167C with Sublimation ink "ink tank" with Trupix paper.

My wife does a lot of artwork onto polyester (satin and suede) and presses at 220C for 2 minutes, but uses sublimation paint (disperse dye) that she mixes herself from powders, which are much thicker and more vibrant than the computer inks. Also doesn't bother with transfer papers, just uses what ever thick bulk paper she can get her hands on for a good price.
