Select the template that best matches your substrate and import your design. Size/place it how you want it to appear on your ornament.

#@#

Choose the substrate you are sublimating on and print your image design 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.

#@#

Use heat resistant tape to stabilize your design onto your ornament.

#@#

Preheat your EasyPress™ to the appropriate temperature to 400°F [204.4°C] and adjust the timer to 300 seconds.

#@#

Fold a piece of butcher paper for it is doubled and place it on top of your EasyPress™ mat, then your ornament on top of the butcher paper.

#@#

Fold a piece of butcher paper for it is doubled and place it on top of your ornament (over the taped design) to protect your heat press.
TIP: Cardstock is also a great tool to use instead of butcher paper.

#@#

Carefully place your EasyPress™ over your design. Hold in place with gentle pressure.
TIP: Be careful to keep the EasyPress™ very still on top of your design. Shifting the design in anyway can cause unfavorable results, such as “shadowing”.

#@#

Carefully remove your EasyPress™. Again, try not to move your design. Let it cool for about 10-15 minutes and then remove the butcher paper and sublimation paper.
