Various hole options and a choice of 26 different tassel colours plus NEW! We have also added a super Luxury silver plated chain tassel with a silver plated snap hook to attach to our bookmarks for a very special extra touch.
Quality material: these sublimation blank bookmarks are metal aluminum plate, which are lightweight, smooth and comfortable, reliable, and not easy to fade. One great benefit to sublimating small items is that you can get 4 prints from one regular sized piece of paper and 6 from legal size. It’s a good idea to copy and paste your design 3 or 4 times across your paper and print all them all at once. Glass is a popular substrate for sublimation printing, but again, they must be sublimation friendly or have a coating or layer applied that accepts the sublimation ink. The following are the recommended sublimation heat press settings for glass:High-quality sublimation paper is also essential for achieving the best results. Make sure to use sublimation paper that is compatible with your printer and substrate. I recommend A-Sub sublimation paper. Low-quality paper can result in poor quality prints, such as blurry or faded designs. Use the Right Pressure The temperature is one of the most important factors when determining sublimation heat press settings. It is important to find the best temperature for the material you are using. Too high of a temperature can cause damage to the substrate, while too low of a temperature can result in a blurry or faded design. I list all of the temperatures I’ve successfully used on all the blanks I’ve tried in my Sublimation Cookbook. Press ONE Blank at a time until you are confident in your settings. Every heat press is different and everyone uses different inks. There is no “right” settings, only good starting points. Aluminum panels are a popular substrate for sublimation printing. The following are the recommended sublimation heat press settings for aluminum panels: High-quality ink is essential for achieving vibrant and long-lasting prints. Make sure to use sublimation ink that is compatible with your printer and substrate. I like to use Hiipoo ink in my Epson EcoTank and SubliJet in my Sawgrass. Use High-Quality Sublimation Paper
Allow your blanks a moment to cool and then peel the paper from the bookmark. If you are happy with your results, make a note of your settings for future use. Luxury tall aluminium bookmark for dye sublimation with rounded corners, as a plain blank, with a choice of 3 mm centre of short side, or corner hole, or 6 mm centre of short side hole or for the ultimate luxury finish: The first step is to consult the manufacturer’s instructions for the substrate you are using. The manufacturer’s instructions will provide you with the recommended sublimation heat press settings for the substrate. Do a Test PrintBulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia If you think a lot of ink was left behind, increase your time by 15 seconds until you are happy. Also, make sure you are using real sublimation paper and quality ink with proper inkk profiles. The following are some tips for achieving the best results when using sublimation heat press: Use High-Quality Ink Using the right pressure is important for achieving a good transfer of the design onto the substrate. Too much pressure, or overly heavy pressure, can result in the design being pressed too hard into the substrate, causing distortion or damage. Too little pressure can result in the design not being transferred properly, resulting in a blurry or faded print. Usually, you only need medium pressure, but it does depend on what you’re doing. I prefer to use the pressure notes in my Sublimation Cookbook. Use Heat-Resistant Tape
The bookmarks are very light weight yet durable, kind of like a grocery store “shoppers club” tag, maybe a bit thinner. This is much preferred to heavy cardboard type bookmarks that are susceptible to creases, deterioration, or oil marks. Let’s review a couple of best practices for pressing our bookmark blanks before we move onto our design tips and ways to increase profit potential. Best Practices for Pressing our Bookmark Blanks Sublimation bookmarks with Fun Tassels Sublimation printing works best with synthetic materials that have a high polyester content. While it is possible to print on natural fibers such as cotton or rayon, the results won’t be as vibrant or long-lasting, and will eventually fade away. When printing on cotton fabric, it is important to use a pre-treatment spray or coating to help the ink bond with the fabric. Find the Best TemperatureI’d love to see YOUR sublimation projects! Please share a photo in our sublimation craft group or tag me on social media with #jennifermaker. The second step is to conduct a test print. This involves printing a small design on the substrate using a range of temperatures, times, and pressures. After the test print, inspect the substrate to determine the best sublimation heat press settings for the substrate. Adjust the Settings Note: If you want to use cotton shirts instead, lower temperatures (and special layers or coatings) are recommended to avoid scorching. See my How to Sublimate on Cotton and Dark Colors tutorial for more details.
Using heat-resistant tape can help prevent the substrate from shifting during the transfer process. It can also help ensure that the design is aligned correctly on the substrate. Make sure to use tape that is heat resistant and safe to use with your material. I like to use Cricut blue heat-resistant tape. Consider the Material TypeDiscounted – still perfect printing side – but a discounted version – as all may have scratches on the reverse (SO WE SELL THEM AT HALF PRICE!)
