Q1: How to ensure the best heat transfer results?
A1: Use a sublimation printer, and ensure the printed image's ink is completely dry before use. As shown, you can place the printed image above the device’s cover to speed up the drying process or use the oven to dry it up (Recommended parameters: Temp: 104℉/40℃ Time: 2-3 mins );

A2: When placeing the phone case fixture, ensuring it's pin has been aligned to the slots on the chamber;

A3: Always use A4-sized sublimation film, ensuring it is aligned flat in the heating chamber to avoid vacuum sealing failure

A4: If the printed sublimation film is not used immediately, store it in a sealed container to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect the heat transfer. It is recommended to use it within 4 hours after printing;
A5: Please do use the lens pad to ensure proper support and heat transfer. Not using it may cause pressing failure or deformation around the camera area;

A6: When placing the phone case, make sure the camera area is not aligned with the gap of the fixture to prevent the film from tearing during the vacuum process.

Q2: How to achieve the best vacuum transfer results?
A1: Do not block the air holes on the lens pad when sticking it to the phone case;

A2: Ensure the sublimation film covers the silicone ring fully when placing it for the best result;


A3: Set the preheating time within the recommended range of 0–10 seconds (Optimal: 5 s);
A4: Please place the film and close the upper heat plate within 10 seconds;
A5: Press the inner and outer silicone ring gently to ensure proper airtightness while the machine is cool.

Q3: How to remove the phone case from the fixture?
A1: Please wear heat-resistant gloves throughout the process;
A2: After the transfer is complete, open the heat plate and peel off the sublimation film immediately;
A3: Hold the phone case and apply downward pressure to compress the fixture, then remove the phone case;
A4: If it's difficult to remove, use tweezers to grip the camera area and carefully pull out the phone case.
Q4: What should be noted when heat pressing badges?
A1: Use the badge fixture and place the pin side into the slot of the fixture;

A2: Use A4-sized sublimation film;
A3: Use LOKLiK IdeaStudio™ for image printing.
Q5: How to heat transfer onto coasters, ceramic plates, and other flat substrates?
A1: Place the substrates on the base plate;
A2: If pressing multiple items, ensure at least 1 cm of space between substrates and between substrates and the heating chamber walls;
