Step 1. Get Your Heat Press Ready

Turn on your heat press. We recommend pressing all of our products at 385°F / 195°C. Be sure to lay a piece of protective paper on the bottom of the press.

Step 2. Prep Your Clock Face for Sublimation

Remove any film that may be on the surface of the clock. Clean off the blank with a cleaning cloth, all-purpose cleaner, or a can of compressed air.

Step 3. Pair the Transfer with the Clock

Lay the transfer down on a flat surface with the printed image facing up. Place the clock face on top of the transfer and line it up. Tape the blank to the transfer paper with a few pieces of heat tape.

Step 4. Let’s sublimate!

Place the transfer and blank into the heat press with the transfer on top. Lay another piece of protective paper on top. Confirm that the heat press is at the correct temperature. Pressing times are below. 

Aluminum Clock Face: 1:30 – 1:40
Hardboard Clock Face: 1:30 – 1:45
