Printing Process of Sublimation Acrylic Fridge Magnet

• Ink: High-flow sublimation ink

• Paper: Bright white sublimation transfer paper

• Blank Magnets: Use 4mm white sublimation-coated acrylic blanks.

• Pre-Heat: Place blank in heat press at 160°C (320°F) for 10 seconds to remove moisture.

• Magnet Types:

• Rubber-based magnets (best for curved surfaces)

• Ferrite magnets (strongest hold)

• 4. Heat Press Transfer

  Temperature	190-200°C (374-392°F)
