Before attempting any printing operation, confirm the following:
• Make sure you have installed the correct software and drivers for your machine.
• For USB or network cable users: Make sure the interface cable is physically secure.
Selecting the correct type of paper
For high quality printing, it is important to select the correct type of paper. Be sure to read the information about
acceptable paper before buying paper, and to determine the printable area depending on the settings in the printer
driver or in the application you use to print.
Firewall (Windows)
If your computer is protected by a firewall and you are unable to print to a network printer, you may need to configure
the firewall settings. If you are using the Windows Firewall and you installed the drivers using the steps in the
installer, the necessary firewall settings have been already set. If you are using any other personal firewall software,
see the User's Guide for your software or contact the software manufacturer.
What is sublimation printing?
This Sublimation Printer uses Sublimation Ink to print onto Sublimation Paper.
Sublimation printing is a process that involves printing a design onto a specific type of coated paper, then
transferring that image onto another material (usually polyester) with a heat press.
Use a heat press machine suitable for the material you are using.
Refer to the "Let’s get started !" label (2) for sublimation printing overview.

Before Using Your Machine
• When transferring the image to a mug, use only a polymer-coated mug, avoid transferring the image to
any area that might come in contact with the mouth or lips, and make sure to follow the sublimate
instructions correctly. If sublimation transfer is not performed correctly, the mug may not be suitable for
drinking.
• Although it is possible to transfer a sublimation image onto polymer-coated dishes, use the dishes only for
artwork and not for serving food. DO NOT eat from dishes after transferring images onto them.
• Do not sublimate onto non-polymer-coated mugs, bottles, plates, other containers, tableware, etc.
• Sublimate transfer conditions may depend on the heat press machine and materials used. For more
information, refer to the heat press machine's or material's user's guides.
• Do not use an iron on sublimated fabric, or put the fabric in a clothes dryer. Ink may fade or may transfer
to other fabrics.
