Tips on using templates

All Xpres Sublimation templates are slightly larger than the actual substrate. You can leave the border of the template visible as this helps to line up the substrate before taping it onto the transfer paper (use XP6006 Heat Tape to secure the substrate to the transfer paper).

The only template you cannot leave the border on is the mug template as this will show up when printed.

To duplicate your image once fitted to the template refer to page 10 on duplicating objects
