INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBLIMATION ON MDF ORNAMENTS

 Lone Star Sublimation is happy to share our high-quality sublimation embellishment blanks with our community of artisans and fabricators!

These sublimation blanks are a great personalized gift to give your loved ones.

These MDF ornaments are made to sublimate double-sided. They ornaments come with a jute cord and a red ribbon, approximately 8 inches each.

They are bright white in color which will show off your designs beautifully. It is important to mention that the result depends solely and exclusively on your sublimation inks and the settings at the time of printing. From our personal experience, they rarely break compared to others we have used before.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBLIMATION ON MDF ORNAMENTS

1. Set your images a little bigger than your ornament size, you can make your own template, or we also have the digital file in .psd format (Photoshop) with the template ready to use available in our digital files section. https://lonestarsublimationblanks.com/collections/digital-download
2. Print your image with your sublimation printer, using sublimation ink and in mirror mode.
3. Remove the plastic protector from your ornament from both sides before securing your image to the ornament and sublimating.
4. Attach each piece to the trim with heat tape or spray adhesive.
5. Do a paper pressure test to find the proper pressure or try it with a blank MDF ornament. Medium pressure is recommended.
6. Once you find the right pressure, use the suggested time and temperature, 400° Fahrenheit for 60 seconds is recommended. If you want to press multiple ornaments, add an additional 30 seconds for each additional ornament. However, this is just a reference parameter, the settings may vary depending on your heat press.
7. Once the heat press reaches the temperature setting, tape the pre-prepared MDF ornament with the sublimation paper side up.
8. Cover the MDF ornament with another white paper (butcher paper) and then press. If you felt that it is larger than the bottom plate of the heat press, be sure to place the trims where the heating element touches the pad.
9. Sublimation of one side is completed, remove the sublimation paper very carefully because the ornament is hot, and start again to sublimate the second side.
