What are the differences between A-SUB sublimation paper weights?

Lower GSM (105-120 GSM): Best for: Lightweight, general-purpose sublimation printing. Advantages: Faster drying time, lower ink consumption, and good for light-colored, soft substrates like fabric (polyester shirts) and mouse pads. Applications: Suitable for detailed designs and smaller prints where speed is a priority. Medium GSM (120-130 GSM): Best for: A balance between weight and ink absorption. Advantages: Suitable for general-purpose printing on various items like mugs, phone cases, and fabric. Provides good ink absorption and transfer with minimal paper curling. Applications: Versatile for most medium-sized projects and items with complex designs. Higher GSM (150-160 GSM): Best for: Large format printing or projects where more ink coverage is needed. Advantages: Absorbs more ink, offers high-quality image transfer, and reduces the risk of ink bleeding through the paper. Better for hard substrates like ceramic, metal, and glass. Applications: Ideal for heavy-duty printing on products like photo panels, mugs, tumblers, and tiles.

Which printer settings work best for A-SUB sublimation paper?

Use your inkjet printer’s highest quality or photo mode. Select ‘Plain Paper’ as the media type if available, and ensure you are using sublimation ink. Regular ink will not transfer properly.

Which materials can I use with A-SUB sublimation paper?

It works on polyester fabrics, polymer-coated mugs, metal sheets, phone cases, and other specially coated surfaces. It is not suitable for untreated cotton, wood, or glass without coating.

How do I prevent ink bleeding or smudging?

Ensure the paper is completely dry before pressing. Use the recommended temperature and time for your specific material. Avoid touching the printed surface with fingers to prevent smudges.

Can I use A-SUB sublimation paper in roll format?

Yes, roll paper is available for larger prints or continuous production. Adjust your printer settings for the roll width and ensure smooth feeding to avoid jams.

Can I use A-SUB sublimation paper for multi-color designs?
