Sublimation Printing Specification Targets for Buyers
Setting Sublimation Printing correctly on a tech pack prevents most later disputes. Targets belong on the page before the first fabric sample.
Where to write it
Place Sublimation Printing next to composition and weight so all three are quoted as one package. Working figures for Sublimation Printing normally sit around 190-210 degrees transfer in mainstream production. Note calender heat press on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Reference level
Typical activewear expectation: 190-210 degrees transfer. Record elastane content alongside Sublimation Printing, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 190-210 degrees transfer usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
Tolerances that work
Allow a small tolerance rather than a fixed number, since normal process variation exists in every lot. Keeping reference values for Sublimation Printing lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with calender heat press, since both affect the reading.
Verification method
Confirm with calender heat press and keep the report against the bulk record. Working figures for Sublimation Printing normally sit around 190-210 degrees transfer in mainstream production. Note calender heat press on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Commercial note
Tightening beyond practical need raises cost without improving garment life, so set the tightest target only where it protects the customer. Record elastane content alongside Sublimation Printing, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 190-210 degrees transfer usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
