Sublimation Tips

Production Tips  
Use RGB color mode for printing. RGB provides a much smoother and richer output than CMYK does.

A clean, organized, and well ventilated work area will help to limit your production costs by increasing quality and cutting time. You should also do your best to keep the area clear of dust and dirt, limiting the amount that may interfere with your finished sublimated products.

Design Tips  
Limit your font use on an item to no more than 3 different fonts.

If you need to create contrast or highlight certain words, vary the weight (bold/thickness), italicize or try adding some color to the text.

Samples for Testing
Keep blank samples of the various substrates you use near your heat press. When it’s time to switch to a different material, stick the sample under the press and use it to get your pressure where it needs to be.

Doing so helps take the guess work out of setup and keeps you from having to risk good pieces to get your pressure right. Be sure to write what each sample piece is on the surface with a permanent marker. Better safe than sorry, right?

Designer’s Block?
Just don’t have the knack for designing graphics? Well, there’s a simple solution: Unisubgraphics.

Unisubgraphics is an online gallery of fully editable, premade artwork designed specifically for sublimatable products. With over 3,000 designs ranging from sports to awards to a variety of holidays, you can always find the graphics you need quickly and easily.

Keep It Hot!
Make sure to check the true temperature of your heat press at least 2-3 times every year as the digital readout on your press can sometimes be inaccurate. Although you can’t always expect a spot-on temperature, the digital readout can be off by as much as 50 degrees, which is easily more than enough to cause unsatisfactory results in your products.

Candy thermometers work great for this. They are cheap, easy to find, and can get the job done just as well as any fancy, high-tech thermometer.

Christmas/Hanukkah Marketing

Bundle Products Together
Sell similar or matching items that are normally separate as a package for a small discount. Holiday shoppers love a good deal!

Holiday Specials
Run One-Day-Only Sales on your slowest business day to attract more customers to your store.  Promote it in local media and/or on your website. Bargain shoppers won’t want to miss the opportunity.

Thank Your Customers
Add a small pre-printed thank you note into your customers’ shopping bag when they make a purchase. It will add a more personal feel to their busy shopping day and they will be more likely to return to your store.

Be Festive!
Make sure that your store, website, and even employees are into the holiday spirit. Decorating your business gets your customers more into the spirit and willing to buy your merchandise. Also, it’s a good excuse to have a little fun at work!

Have a daily or weekly “Hot Item”
Have one or two items at a nice discount for a few days and sales can sky-rocket. Impulse buyers may even grab more than what they came for.
