You're new to the skills necessary to complete this project, or maybe you've tried them just once or twice before.

just peachy sublimation t-shirt

Unlike iron-on or heat transfer vinyl’s, sublimation transfers your design into the fabric or substrate rather than pressing on top of your surface. Acting much like a printer, you won't have to switch out inks, or use an additional dedicated system for your EasySubli® transfers.

Print Project

Step 1

First, click here for the digital design library on michaels.com. Download it to your computer, then upload to your CreativeStudio in Sawgrass® Print Manager.

Step 2

Select the template that best matches your substrate and import your design. Create it how you want it to appear on your shirt.

Step 3

Select ‘Text’ and create a monogram.

Step 4

Print your design from your Sawgrass™ printer onto sublimation paper.
TIP: If there are any words or direction-oriented aspects in your design, be sure to mirror before printing.

Step 5

Preheat your heatpress to 385°F [196°C].

Step 6

Fold your shirt inn half and press for about 15 seconds. Now, open up your shirt and flatten it out; then arrange the design onto your shirt as desired, place some butcher paper over the design and press for 45 seconds.
TIP: Use heat resistant tape to hold your design place, if needed.

Step 7

Remove the butcher paper and sublimation paper to reveal your design.
TIP: To press once you have created your shirt, use butcher paper to protect heatpress and or ironing board as sublimation ink “re-activates” once heated.
