Moisture and Humidity Problems
The addition of moisture to the sublimation process can cause disturbing effects.
Under normal circumstances, the small amount of moisture that can accumulate in
your paper is absorbed directly into the transfer substrate; however hard substrates
like metal and ceramic are unable to absorb excess moisture. Some of problems that
are attributed to moisture include:
n color shifting (colors lose accuracy)
n bleeding of the image
n uneven transfer of solid filled areas
Ø To avoid these problems
n Keep your paper in a dry place.
n If you suspect moisture, set the paper on your press for a few seconds. Do not
press it. Just expose it to the warmth. The heat radiating from the press should
help evaporate most of the moisture.
n To eliminate moisture in fabric, press the fabric for 10 seconds before doing
the heat transfer.
n Use an absorbent cloth or fresh, non-textured paper towel behind the transfer
sheet to absorb the moisture.
