How to sublimate onto the neoprene gamer, bar or desk pad
- Set your flat heat press to 200°C for 80 seconds at medium pressure.
- Ensure the heat press is wider than the mat (minimum width: 30.5 cm).
- Use a lint roller to remove unseen fluff from the neoprene mat.
- Pre-press the neoprene mat in sections for 80 seconds to remove excess moisture. This prevents shrinking during pressing.
- Cover the neoprene and design with silicone paper as you press in sections. Adjust the number of presses based on the size of your press.
- Mark where the press ends and re-press the joins to avoid lines from pressure inconsistencies.
- Once finished, remove the print carefully as it will still be hot.
- Allow the mat to cool before admiring your masterpiece.
Additional Tips:
-
- Time and temperature are guidelines; always test your heat press for accuracy.
- If you notice bald spots, adjust the pressure for better results.
