1 Instruc on BookletReveal-S sublimation Transfer Media for Cotton A self-weeding sublimation transfer film that allows sublimators to decorate light colored cotton or blended fabrics using almost any ink jet sublimation printer. 800-826-6332 12, 2016 What Reveal-S does:The Reveal-S film, a true technology breakthrough from Vivid Chemical, allows for the decora on of bold graphics onto white and light colored 100% co on & blended fabrics using sublima on ink. In addi on, it is a single step self-weeding film, meaning that no visible polymer is released in blank areas of a graphic. The Reveal method produces very bold colors with excep onal wash Reveal-S does NOT do:Design your graphic using bold colors!

2 Reveal-S will not transfer light or medium colors. Also, Reveal-S should not be used for photograph reproduc on. It is designed for white and lightly colored shirts. It is not recommended for medium or dark Reveal-S works:During the heat press process, the sublima on ink that was printed on the film begins to sublimate into the Smart Polymer coa ng on the film. This Smart Polymer selec vely releases from the film, mel ng onto the fibers of the fabric. Unlike tradi onal sublima on to polyester which has no hand (meaning you can t feel the areas decorated), you will feel the Reveal-S Smart Polymer on the surface of the fabric.

3 The Smart Polymer will selec vely release if a medium to high density of the ink is present. This means that artwork with medium to bold colors will transfer. A er transferring, the sublima on inks now live inside the a ached Smart Polymer, since sublima on inks will not adhere to the co on. Unlike tradi onal transfer media, the Reveal-S Smart Polymer does not leave a visible polymer window in blank areas, allowing the decora ng of light colored shirts. Reveal-S and Smart Polymer is a patent-pending technology breakthrough. 800-826-6332 Introduc onXXXT radi onal Ink Jet TransferA tradi onal ink-jet transfer paper is coatedwith a solid emulsion film to trap and suspend liquid ink in order to apply your design to a fabric.

4 Unless the excess film is cut away before hea ng, the en re emulsion film is applied to the fabric. Usually, emulsion film transfers are barely visible when applied to a white fabric. They also leave a significant , emulsion films from tradi onal ink-jettransfer papers become visible when they are applied to a colored fabric. The more colorwithin the fabric, the more visible the emulsionfilm appears on that Smart Coa ng TechnologyReveal-S employs Smart Coa ng Technology, where the emulsion film only releases where sublima on inks are sprayed onto the film. When heat is applied to the Reveal-S Film, dye-subinks chemically combine with the Smart Coa ng polymer network and adhere to the garment.

5 Areas of the Smart Coa ng with no sublima on ink stay on the Reveal-S film and do not transfer to the garment, making the Reveal-S Sublima on-to-Co on film the first self-weeding ink jet transfer product! No physical trimming of your design from the film is required. 800-826-6332 Smart Coa ng TechnologyInk JetEmulsion LayerNo ExcessPolymer LayerIMPORTANT INFORMATION!For best results, Cond Systems recommends using our Reveal-S printer settings.

It will be helpful to print and transfer our Reveal-S Basic RGB or Reveal-S Full RGB color charts to aid in the selec on of colors. Download the charts at . Prin ng:Before loading the Reveal-S film into your printer s paper tray, first place two sheets of plain paper (that matches the Reveal-S film size) into the paper tray. Load the Reveal-S film on top of the two sheets of plain paper so that you print on the ma e/rough side of the film. For Ricoh and Virtuoso printers, place the film with the ma e/rough side (print side) face down in the bo om tray.

8 If using the bypass tray, place film ma e/rough (print side) face in MIRROR IMAGE with sublima on ink. For best results, we recommend using our Reveal printer se ngs. These se ngs are different from normal sublima on se ngs and help to op mize the Reveal film. To receive those printer se ngs, visit or call 800-826-6332 (press 2 for tech support). the film from the printer s output tray as quickly as possible, as some sublima on inks dry slowly. If the ink is wet, avoid mul ple sheets piling up in the printer s output tray. Handle the film carefully to prevent wet ink from best results, Reveal-S should be applied to a garment within 4 hours of prin Sublima on OnlyMirror Image 800-826-6332 Instruc onsXX Set your heat press: Temperature: 385 F Dwell Time: 20 seconds Pressure: Heavy Place the shirt in your press and use a lint roller over the area to be decorated (You may decorate a 100% co on or co on-poly blend, white or light colored shirt.)

9 See for examples of light colored shirts). Pre-press the shirt for about 5 seconds without locking the press closed. Just use the weight of the platen (See videos at ). Place the Reveal-S film with the print side face down on the shirt in the desired orienta on and posi on (Because the film is clear, you can see your image to aid in posi oning. Also double check that your design now appears right reading indica ng the print side is indeed against the shirt). For best results, try to keep the Reveal-S film at the center of your heat press platen. close and lock the press with heavy pressure at Without using a cover sheet, 385 F for 20 seconds.

10 Open the press and rub the film with a cloth or mousepad for 3-5 seconds. Hot peel the film by pulling the film parallel with the fabric. Gently stretch the garment from the sides to help so en the feel or hand of the design. Verify proper release of the decorated sec ons of the smart polymer.
