Why are 100% cotton papers So Popular?

There are 2 types of pulp fibers that typically make up paper – wood and cotton. Cotton fibers are the most durable fibers and are made up of either linters or rags.

Linters are fine fibers left on the seed of a cotton plant after the ginning process. Rags are cotton clippings from textile mills.

The value of cotton lies in the structure of the fibers which are long, hollow, and tube-like. They are one of the strongest, yet softest fibers available.

When cotton fibers are beaten to a pulp, they tend to fray and create hundreds of tiny fibrils.

When matted together with water, they interlock creating a uniform surface with great strength and flexibility.

The Cotton sublimation paper process enables the user to transfer onto white and pastel cotton fabrics using the traditional sublimation process.

This product is perfect for full color photos, vector graphics and lines. No excess polymer appears on the garments and requires no trimming or weeding.

Printing Notes:

Ensure to print with a border of at least ½”. Avoid printing edge to edge on the paper. Print using mirror image mode. Print on the unprinted side.

If paper has a slight curl, bend the paper gently in opposite direction to reduce.

Select paper setting: “Plain Paper” mode and “High Speed” setting.

Print 1 sheet at a time as the powder process requires the ink to be wet.

Avoid printing multi-sheets as the inks will smear when pages come out of the printer on top of each other.

Avoid finger contact with wet ink once printed.

Important Tips:

Wash in cold or hot water.

DO NOT USE BLEACH.
