Sublimation Paper cannot work on 100% cotton materials and best for materials with less than 20% cotton. We offer three kinds of sublimation paper: Fast Dry Sublimation Paper, Instant Dry Sublimation Paper and Tacky Sublimation Paper. If you want to transfer 100% cotton materials, we have T-shirt Transfer Paper. We provide light transfer paper for light color clothes and dark transfer paper for dark ones. It works well. Some commonly used surface with micro-weaves of polyester on the outside, they can also work with sublimation printing,such as mouse pads, ceramic plates, mugs and so on.
