Hover transfer under open heat press for 10 seconds to dry excess moisture. Required: ID Tag Production Jig U5929 for use with1.125”x 2” ID Tags U5588, U5916 1) Using the Production Jig digital template (available in PartnerNet), set up your artwork allowing for up to 24 Unisub ID tags. Print your transfers on legal size, 8 1/2” x 14” paper. Attach a few small pieces of heat tape to the jig and transfer to keep them aligned. (Some printers allow for a larger margin in one direction or another. You may need to shift your transfer sheet to align with the jig. For future reference, we suggest saving a copy of the template and digitally altering the file to custom fit your printer.) Lay the transfer sheet and jig down on the included backer board. Now insert your double-sided Unisub ID tags into the jig.  2) Lay your second transfer on top of the set up items and align the transfer. Using a few pieces of heat tape, adhere the transfer to the jig and backer board to keep all items together and aligned. The jig and ID tags should now be sandwiched between the two transfers.  3) Lay the set of items face up on a heat press at 400° with firm pressure. The sublimation process should take roughly 1 minute and 30 seconds.  4) Remember your materials are HOT! Once cooled, carefully remove the top transfer and ID tags from the jig. You now have increased your volume production level! Adjust the pressure on the heat press before setting up the items for sublimation. Let the backer board cool before adding the materials. |
