Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this paper in a standard inkjet printer?
A: No. The Brother SP01PL is designed exclusively for sublimation printers utilizing dedicated sublimation inks. It will not function properly with standard inkjet or laser printer inks.
Q: Which side of the paper should I print on?
A: You should print on the bright white, coated side of the sheet. The reverse side typically has a distinct color tint or watermark to help you easily identify the correct printing surface.
Q: Do I need to mirror my designs when printing on this paper?
A: Yes. Like standard sublimation processes, you must mirror (flip horizontally) your artwork before printing so that it displays correctly when pressed face-down onto your substrate.
Q: Does this paper work well on 100% cotton garments?
A: Sublimation chemistry requires polyester fibers or polymer coatings to bind properly. While it can be used on poly-blends (minimum 60% polyester), optimal vibrant results are achieved on 100% polyester fabrics or hard blanks treated with a sublimation coating.
