Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the H17 for other phone models besides the ones shown?

Yes! The H17 Phone Case Heat Press works with a wide range of phone models. Just make sure you're using the correct case size and material for your specific phone. Blank sublimation cases are available for most popular models—always check compatibility before ordering.

What temperature and time should I use for sublimating phone cases?

Typical settings for the H17 are around 400°F for 60 seconds. However, always check your specific sublimation paper and case manufacturer's recommendations, as different materials may require slight adjustments. The H17's digital controls make it easy to fine‑tune settings for optimal results.

Do I need a separate printer for sublimation?

Yes, you'll need a printer specifically designed for sublimation ink—regular inkjet printers won't work. Sublimation printers use special inks that turn into gas when heated and bond with the polymer coating on the case. Popular options include the Epson F170 and other Sawgrass printers designed for sublimation.

Can I use these designs for commercial purposes?

The design ideas in this post are intended for inspiration and personal use. If you're planning to sell phone cases with these specific designs, you'll need to create your own original artwork or purchase commercial licenses for any graphics you use. The H17 itself is a great tool for small businesses, but the designs you sell should be your own.
