Clear Sublimation Adhesive Vinyl

Take your vinyl projects to the next level, without the need to work in layers! This vinyl is mainly used to make stickers, without color selection, without limiting ourselves to solid colors like other cut vinyl’s. Depending on the design, you can use reflective silver, clear, white glossy or metalized holographic silver finish as a base. Designed for short-term interiors and exteriors. (1.5 years on average). For outdoor use, its duration may be shorter depending on the weather conditions to which it is exposed. With the sublimable adhesive vinyl you can design from small letters or images to large signs and applications. It is easily applied on flat surfaces and smooth curves, not very pronounced. It has a good initial grab and adheres strongly to most materials to.

Instructions:

• Prepare your design, print it in mirror mode using paper and sublimation inks.
• Place your vinyl on the flat plate with the sublimable side facing up, place your design with the printed side facing down.
• Secure with heat tape to prevent movement
• Place a Teflon sheet on the material before ironing
• Iron at 400 °F x 60 sec.
• Cut with scissors or if you want to make the cut with a plotter, it must be cut beforehand or, where appropriate, already have the relevant registration marks. (Suggested vinyl cut parameter)
• Thoroughly clean the surface on which it is going to be applied to remove dust, grease, etc., which may make it difficult for the vinyl to adhere.
• Once the sublimated adhesive vinyl is cold, place the transfer or carrier paper on top of the design, which allows us to place the already sublimated vinyl on the destination surface. It should start from the center outwards, avoiding producing wrinkles. Pass the spatula over the entire surface, turn, and remove the paper backing.
• Position the design on the surface where you are going to apply it and pass the spatula again to adhere it well and eliminate bubbles.
• Remove the transfer or carrier.

Care:

• Not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
• Use a soft sponge. Do not soak or scrub with abrasive sponges.
• Use cold water.
• Wait at least 24 hours after sublimation and application before washing.

*** If your vinyl has any creases or double marks, it is recommended to iron it at low temperature gently on the paper side, with a protective paper on top to protect it. You can pass a spatula to remove the bubbles.

*** If the sublimated vinyl is going to be applied to surfaces such as glass, melamine, plastic, metal, a good trick is to apply the vinyl wet. Spray the surface and the design on the adhesive side with soapy water. Move the spatula from the center to the edges to remove excess water. The advantage of this type of application is that if the design is not well positioned, it can be re-positioned without difficulty and without damaging the material.

***Temperature, pressure, and shear are followed parameters, so it is recommended to carry out tests before carrying out the final work.
