Match the row before using the numbers
Start with your blank SKU, process and press. The table covers selected records in this site’s source set, not every sublimation material. Manufacturer instructions for your exact current blank and equipment take precedence. A press-class row does not approve a particular machine, and a heat value alone does not supply preparation, peel or cooling instructions.
Printed dye sublimation
Scroll horizontally to compare all columns.
| Exact blank and source scope | Documented starting heat | Pressure and finishing | Open the same scoped record |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unisub #5677 cork-backed hardboard coaster; conventional flat heat press class | 385°F; 60–70 seconds | Strong pressure, qualitative; remove transfer immediately with heat gloves, then cool. No timed cooling interval or exact press SKU given | Setting, complete documented project, supplier instructions |
| JPPlus fabric mousepad SUBMPAD8-10-PKG; general fabric-item guidance for standard flat press | 360–390°F; 45–60 seconds | Medium; class-level starting guidance. A complete SKU-specific cooling/handling path is not established by this row | Setting, source PDF |
| ChromaLuxe #4297 gloss-white metal panel; small heat/craft press class | 385°F; 90–95 seconds | Strong, may vary by equipment; use heat gloves for removal. Peel and cooling remain unspecified in this setting record | Setting, supplier instructions |
| MakerFlo 18oz Hydro; the exact MakerFlo Automatic Tumbler Press | 355°F; 60 seconds, rotate 180°, then another 60 seconds | Automatic press pressure; attachment instructions conflict and exact Hydro finishing needs confirmation. Do not start heating from the numeric row alone | Setting, conditional project and sources |
The Unisub instructions were checked October 3, 2026. JPPlus, ChromaLuxe and MakerFlo records were originally checked September 22–23, 2026; each finder result retains its exact record date and links to the underlying source. A checked date is our review date and must not be mistaken for the source’s publication or revision date.
The ChromaLuxe material hub supplies its original instructions and unresolved finish requirements; no complete photo-panel tutorial is claimed. The JPPlus range is supplier guidance, not a permission to choose its highest time and temperature for every fabric.
Cut-sheet Infusible Ink
Scroll horizontally to compare all columns.
| Exact blank and source scope | Documented heat | Pressure and finishing | Open the same scoped record |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cricut Square Coaster, item 2006581; Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet; EasyPress SE family selected in Cricut Heat Guide | 400°F; 60 seconds | No pressure; cool completely before handling or peeling. The source selects the SE family, not a plate-size SKU | Setting, complete documented project, Cricut Heat Guide |
That Heat Guide selection was checked September 23, 2026. Keep its square-coaster layer order; it differs from Cricut’s ceramic-coaster instructions. Confirm that the entire design fits the chosen plate in one press. Do not apply this row to printed dye-sublimation paper, another coaster coating or another press family.
Cricut Mug Press is deliberately absent from the numeric table. It runs an automatic cycle for its supported mug path. Use the mug project and Mug Press ownership guide; its approximate cycle duration is not an operator timer setting.
Read a complete result
Each settings link preselects the process, exact material and documented equipment context. Read the full result for source scope, preparation, pressure wording, rotation, cooling and removal. If it differs from what you own, return to the finder rather than copying the nearest-looking row. Do not convert a qualitative pressure such as “strong” into an invented kilogram value.
If two sources conflict, retain their dates and model scope and ask the supplier which applies. The Hydro project demonstrates why a geometry match and numeric recipe can still leave a workflow blocked. Avoid averaging conflicting recipes or borrowing another item’s peel step.
Keep source settings separate from your test
Download the blank material log PDF or blank XLSX. Record both the source’s values and what your equipment actually did, along with blank lot, prep, output photograph and next supported adjustment. A satisfactory test on your equipment can inform your own repeat run; it does not become manufacturer approval for every press.
Sources and review date
This reference was assembled October 3, 2026 from the same records used by the settings finder. Individual dates and original supplier links remain visible in every result. No original physical test, universal heat chart or compatibility with an unlisted blank is asserted.
