• Set the temperature to 200 degrees and the time to 60-80 seconds with medium heat press pressure.
• Remove the sublimation paper so that the image is printed onto the vinyl.
• Paste the printed vinyl onto your object and insert it into the press again for 5 to 10 seconds to permanently fix it.

• Use lamination paper and a laminator set to 160-170 degrees for matte vinyl.
• Lamination paper is not required for gold, silver, opal, and hologram glitter vinyl.
• Place a heavy object on plastic or acrylic surfaces, like cards, to flatten them after using a heat press to fix the vinyl.
