Heat resistant tape ideal for sublimation, a specialized adhesive tape designed to withstand the high temperatures involved in the sublimation printing process. This tape is engineered to endure temperatures ranging from 150°C to 260°C (300°F to 500°F) without losing its adhesive properties or degrading. Compatible with all heat press machines including Cricut, HTV Ront, Loklik and many more.
The tape serves several crucial purposes in sublimation printing:
- Securing Transfer Paper/Sheets: Heat resistant tape is used to securely hold sublimation transfer paper/sheets in place on the substrate during the heat press process. This ensures precise alignment and prevents shifting or movement that could result in blurred or misprinted images.
- Preventing Ghosting: By creating a barrier between the substrate and the transfer paper/sheet, the tape helps to prevent ghosting or shadowing of the sublimation ink. This results in crisp, clean transfers with vibrant colours and sharp details.
- Protecting Substrates: Heat resistant tape also acts as a protective layer for delicate substrates such as ceramic, glass, or metal, shielding them from direct contact with the heat press and reducing the risk of heat damage or discoloration.
- Residue-Free Removal: Once the sublimation process is complete, the tape can be easily removed without leaving behind any sticky residue or damaging the printed design, ensuring a professional finish.
Heat resistant tape for sublimation is an essential tool for achieving high-quality, long-lasting sublimation prints across a wide range of applications, including apparel, signage, promotional products, and personalized gifts.
