Cori. Great information. I find that a lot of sublimation blank sellers use the standard "400 for 60 seconds" and I was wondering do you always start there? Also, how do you know if that's not the "idea" settings? For example, my colors turn out good, but sometimes I wonder if they would be "better" if I changed one of those settings (time or temp).

There really aren't standard settings since every bank is different! For shirts and other soft blanks, 400 for 60 is often a decent guess. But really, I try to hunt down the manufacturer's recommendations and use those as my starting point if possible. But I also have been doing it long enough that I sometimes know something isn't right. Like the Michaels glitter mugs say 360 for 80 seconds, but it took me 385 for EIGHT MINUTES to get them to work. So yeah...lots of testing!
