3 Tips for Best Results
2. Cover what is being pressed with a sheet of Endura Fabric - XP5411.
1. Heat tape your sublimation paper loosely around the back of the
ChromaLuxe Panel on two opposing edges.
3. Carefully remove the panel from the press and place on a flat surface
(which will not burn) to allow the panel to fully cool before peeling
away the sublimation paper.
*Due to the high temperatures needed to press the panels, the edges can
become slightly brittle. To minimise the risk of chipping, Xpres strongly
recommends the following precautions.
Step 5
Be very careful whilst
moving the panel from the
press to a flat surface to
cool, before removing the
paper.
