Tools and Supplies to Make it:
- Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 Printer
- Sawgrass VersiFlex Inks
- TruePix Paper
- Flat Heat Press
- Polyester Socks
How to Make It:
- For this project, we are using polyester socks that are carried by many of our dealers.
- In the Sawgrass Print Utility, we chose Polyester for the product.
- We printed this on 8.5″x 14″ TruePix paper
How to Press It:
- Turn on your press on and set the temperature to 400F (204C) degrees
- If you see any dust, lint roll your print area to make sure your surface is clean.
- Place your sock on the press and line the paper up on top as you place it on the product.
- Cover with blow out paper.
- Press the fabric for 45 seconds at HIGH pressure.
- When finished, remove the fabric from the press and remove the transfer paper
Tips & Tricks:
- Socks can be pressed one side at a time. Make sure the design is large enough to wrap around the edges. This gives you a seamless look.
- Using a sock form in the sock will help keep the sock stretched and make sure that the full area is sublimated.
