So today I will share you some tips about the common mistakes in the sublimation printing process and how to avoid or solve them.

The Check Problems of The Print Head
  If the color of your image is off.  For example, if your image has a red tint, or other color tints, there’s a high chance that it is because your print heads are not firing properly in your sublimation printer. So we suggest daily print head checks to prevent virtually all clogs.
  Then how to solve this problem? Very easy , If your print head  check isn't perfect,just clean your nozzle head through your OEM printer driver or through the power driver that you downloaded. And then, perform another nozzle check.  Sometimes it may require more than one head clean to clear the clog.


The check of the right printing side of your sublimation paper
  Sublimation requires special sublimation paper for the sublimation inks to release properly when heated.  It is easy to mix up sublimation paper with normal paper as they are both white and feel very similar to one another.  Most standard sublimation papers are only coated on one side (however there are some that are coated on both sides).  You can compare the two sides of the paper to tell sublimation paper and plain paper apart.  The coated side is usually brighter than the uncoated side.  With plain papers, both sides will be the same brightness.

  Sublimation is an easy to learn method to print onto a variety of substrates including 100% polyester clothing, bags, ceramic mugs, tiles, plaques, etc.  But the instructions have to be followed accurately to achieve consistent results.  Also the setup of your sublimation printer has to be correct.  If you accidentally installed the OEM inks that came with your printer instead of sublimation inks, your patterns would getting worse.

Follow the instructions for your product
  Most imprintable blanks will come with their own instructions.  Please follow them carefully.  Each type of blank may have a different set of instructions.  If unsure, please confirm the instructions with your vendor.
