Product Information
Full details
The PixMax A4 Sublimation Paper is an essential tool for hobbyists and professional creators looking to transfer custom designs onto sublimation-ready substrates. This 100-sheet pack provides a high-quality canvas for inkjet printers using sublimation ink, ensuring vibrant and crisp results for personalized merchandise like mugs, apparel, and phone cases. While the paper offers excellent consistency, it requires specific sublimation-ready coated products and compatible inks to achieve a successful transfer, making it less suitable for standard non-sublimation surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use regular inkjet ink with this paper?
No, this paper is designed specifically for sublimation ink. Standard inkjet ink will not transfer onto substrates.
Is this paper double-sided?
This paper is optimized for single-sided printing; only the coated side is designed to release ink effectively.
What is the best way to identify the print side?
The print side is usually brighter or slightly smoother. You can perform a small test print if you are unsure.
Can I use this on cotton fabric?
Sublimation requires polyester fibers to bond. While it may show faintly on 100% cotton, it will wash out; a high-polyester blend is recommended.
Does this paper expire?
While it does not have a strict expiration date, keeping it away from moisture and direct sunlight will preserve the coating quality for years.
Troubleshooting
Design appears faint after transfer
Check your heat press temperature and dwell time settings to ensure they meet the substrate requirements.
Image looks blurry or ghosted
Ensure the transfer paper is secured tightly to the substrate with heat-resistant tape to prevent movement during the press.
Ink smearing on the paper
Allow for sufficient drying time after printing and ensure your printer settings are not over-saturating the paper with excess ink.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve optimal performance, follow these guidelines:
- Printer Setup: Ensure your printer is loaded with sublimation ink. Use the 'Premium Matte' or similar high-quality paper settings in your printer dialogue to control ink saturation.
- Storage: Keep the paper in its original packaging in a cool, dry place. Humidity can negatively impact ink absorption and overall transfer quality.
- Compatibility: Only use this paper on products specifically coated for sublimation (e.g., polymer-coated blanks or materials with at least 65% polyester content).
- Handling: Avoid touching the printable side of the paper with your fingers to prevent skin oils from interfering with the ink transfer process.
